NRN β†’ CAG

Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the most iconic peaks of the Swiss Alps, a full-length view of the rugged Corsican coastline, and the stunning turquoise waters of the Strait of Bonifacio.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌲

Black Forest

Dense, dark evergreen canopies visible as the flight traverses Southwestern Germany.

πŸ”οΈ

Bernese Oberland

Unrivaled views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks, often capped with snow year-round.

πŸ’Ž

Lake Maggiore

A stunning view of this deep blue subalpine lake crossing the border between Switzerland and Italy.

⛰️

Corsica's Granite Peaks

Follow the entire north-to-south mountain spine of 'The Island of Beauty' out your window.

🏝️

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow, turquoise channel separating Corsica and Sardinia, flanked by white limestone cliffs.

For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Alps and the Mediterranean coastline. This side is the 'Corsica Side'β€”you will fly parallel to its eastern coast for nearly 20 minutes. Afternoon flights may experience glare, so polarized sunglasses are recommended.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏰

Rhine Valley

View the winding Rhine River and its industrial heartland shortly after departing Weeze.

πŸ”οΈ

Eastern Swiss Alps

Dramatic views of the Glarus and Grisons mountain ranges as you cross the alpine divide.

πŸ™οΈ

Milan & Po Valley

The sprawling urban landscape of Lombardy and the vast agricultural plains of Northern Italy.

🌊

Tuscan Archipelago

Look for the distant silhouette of Elba Island and the sparkling Tyrrhenian coastline.

🦩

Molentargius Lagoon

On final approach, see the famous salt pans near Cagliari, often home to pink flamingos.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides a better perspective of the Italian mainland and the salt flats during the final descent into Cagliari. Watch for the Apennine Mountains stretching southward through central Italy.
