NYO β AHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm) to Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Western Alps and an exceptional look at the rugged, volcanic coastline of Corsica and Northern Sardinia during the descent into Alghero.
Central Alpine Massifs
Witness the highest peaks of the Alps, often including snow-capped summits even in late spring or early autumn.
Ligurian Coastline
As you exit the Alps, see the dramatic arc of the Italian Riviera and the bustling port city of Genoa.
Western Corsica
A stunning perspective of the Scandola Nature Reserve's red porphyry cliffs and the deep blue gulfs of Porto and Sagone.
Capo Caccia
Just before landing, look out for the massive limestone headland known as the 'Sleeping Giant' guarding the bay of Alghero.
The right side is superior for evening flights as it captures the sunset over the Mediterranean. It also provides the best angle for the iconic Capo Caccia cliffs during the standard landing approach (Runway 20). Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing as the plane tracks down the beautiful Corsican coast.
Stockholm Archipelago
Glance back at the thousands of tiny islands and inlets dotting the Swedish Baltic coast immediately after departure.
Eastern Alpine Range
Cross over the Austrian and Eastern Italian Alps, featuring jagged limestone peaks and deep green valleys.
Po Valley
A clear view of the dense urban sprawl and agricultural patterns of Northern Italy, including glimpses of Milan's outer regions.
Tuscan Archipelago
Spot the islands of Elba and Capraia shimmering in the Tyrrhenian Sea as you head toward the Mediterranean islands.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the early morning to catch the sunrise over the Baltic and later the Apennines. However, be aware that glare can be intense at high altitudes. During the final approach to Alghero, you may see the Porto Conte regional park if the flight circles from the east.
