NTE â FSC
Which side of the plane to sit from Nantes Atlantique Airport (Nantes) to Figari Sud-Corse Airport (Figari)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the left side provides excellent views of the Corsican interior, the right side is preferred for its stunning aerial perspective of the French Mediterranean coastline and the dramatic final approach over the cliffs of Bonifacio and the Lavezzi Islands.
Search flights from NTE to FSC
Loire Estuary
See where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean shortly after takeoff.
Golfe du Lion
Follow the sweeping sandy arc of the Languedoc-Roussillon coastline before heading out to sea.
Bonifacio Cliffs
Spectacular views of the white limestone cliffs and the famous 'King of Aragon's Staircase' on descent.
Lavezzi Archipelago
Emerald lagoons and granite islets scattered between Corsica and Sardinia during the final turn.
Sardinian Horizon
On clear days, the northern coast of Sardinia is clearly visible just across the narrow strait.
The right side is essential for the scenic approach into FSC. Request a seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the turquoise waters. In the afternoon, the setting sun provides golden light over the limestone cliffs of southern Corsica, making for perfect photography.

Loire Valley Chateaux
Spot historic estates and the winding Loire river immediately after departing Nantes.
Auvergne Volcanoes
Glance at the extinct volcanic peaks of the Massif Central during the mid-flight cruise.
Camargue Wetlands
View the salt pans and unique pink-tinged waters of the Rhone delta near the coast.
Corsican Highlands
Witness the rugged, snow-dusted granite peaks of the Monte Cinto massif as you approach the island.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the distant silhouette of the French Alps to the east when crossing the Mediterranean coast. This side is better for seeing the wild, mountainous heart of the 'Island of Beauty'.
