Which side of the plane to sit from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia) to Friedrichshafen Airport (Friedrichshafen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is exceptional for this route, providing a front-row seat to the turquoise waters of the Costa Smeralda and the Maddalena Archipelago at takeoff, followed by a dramatic approach over the full length of Lake Constance.
Costa Smeralda
Breathtaking views of Sardinia's most famous coastline with its signature turquoise waters and hidden coves immediately after takeoff.
Maddalena Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the stunning national park islands located between Sardinia and Corsica.
Gulf of Genoa
Observation of the busy port of Genoa and the curving coastline of the Italian Riviera as the flight heads north.
Central Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of the Glarus Alps and the Alpstein range, featuring the prominent Säntis peak.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
The highlight of the arrival; the plane typically flies parallel to or over the lake, offering views of Bregenz, Lindau, and the Friedrichshafen shoreline.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. Depending on the wind direction, you will likely get a panoramic view of the three-country border (Germany, Switzerland, Austria) over Lake Constance. Sit behind the wing for the best photography of the coastline and the lake.
Corsican Highlands
Uninterrupted views of the rugged, snow-capped interior peaks of Corsica, including Monte Cinto.
Milan & Lombardy
As you cross the Po Valley, look down for the urban sprawl of Milan and the surrounding northern Italian industrial heartland.
Bernese Alps
Dramatic views of the Swiss high peaks, often including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs to the west.
Lake Zurich
A clear view of the long, finger-shaped Lake Zurich as the flight begins its descent toward the German border.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare while viewing the Alps. This side offers better views of the high peaks of the Swiss interior and the dramatic transition from the Italian plains to the mountain ranges.
