Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the snow-capped Alps to the rugged, mountainous terrain of Corsica and Sardinia, concluding with a scenic approach over the ruins of Carthage.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

The Western Alps

During the initial climb, look back to see the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Italian and French Alps.

⛰️

Corsica's Granite Peaks

Fly directly alongside or over the 'Mountain in the Sea', featuring jagged ridgelines and hidden alpine lakes.

🌊

Strait of Bonifacio

See the narrow, turquoise channel separating the white limestone cliffs of Corsica from northern Sardinia.

🌵

Sardinian Wilds

Observe the rugged, macchia-covered interior of Sardinia and the famous emerald waters of the Costa Smeralda.

🏛️

Ancient Carthage

On final approach to Tunis, look down for the archaeological remains of the Carthaginian Empire and the blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Said.

The right side is the clear winner for island spotting. To avoid glare from the sun, mid-day or afternoon flights are best. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to fully appreciate the descent over the Gulf of Tunis, which often passes directly over the Lake of Tunis and the historic ruins.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Milan Cityscape

Catch a glimpse of the sprawling urban center of Lombardy and the iconic San Siro stadium shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Ligurian Coast

Look for the colorful towns of the Italian Riviera and the bustling port city of Genoa as you cross the coastline.

🏝️

Elba Island

In the distance, the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago is often visible against the blue Tyrrhenian Sea.

🌅

Cape Bon Peninsula

As the flight begins its descent, the northeastern tip of Tunisia stretches out into the Mediterranean.

Sit on the left for softer morning light when flying south. While the landmasses are further away, you get a broader perspective of the Italian mainland's western coastline and the vastness of the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for cruise ships tracking the Italian coast.
