Which side of the plane to sit from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia) to Turin Airport (Torino)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more dramatic geographical contrast, featuring the rugged granite peaks of central Corsica and the spectacular silhouette of the Western Alps, particularly the iconic Monviso, during the approach to Turin.
Gallura Highlands
The wild, rocky interior of northern Sardinia with its unique granite formations.
Strait of Bonifacio
The stunning narrow channel and white limestone cliffs separating Sardinia from Corsica.
Corsican Massif
A bird's-eye view of Monte Cinto and the high-altitude rugged spine of Corsica.
Ligurian Horizon
Panoramic views looking west toward the French Riviera and the Maritime Alps.
Monviso Peak
The 'Stone King' of the Cottian Alps, a massive pyramid peak visible during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the white cliffs of Bonifacio. During the final 15 minutes of flight, the Alpine wall provides a magnificent backdrop that is best captured from this side.
Costa Smeralda
The emerald waters and exclusive bays of Sardinia's most famous coastline.
Maddalena Archipelago
A protected national park consisting of several beautiful islands and turquoise lagoons.
Island of Elba
Visible in the distance across the Tyrrhenian Sea, known as Napoleon's place of exile.
Genoa Gulf
The bustling industrial port and the colorful vertical architecture of the Ligurian capital.
Turin Cityscape
A clear view of the Po River, the Mole Antonelliana, and the historic city center during landing.
The right side is ideal for coastal lovers. You will get a superior view of the Maddalena islands immediately after departure. On the descent, you will have a better view of the city of Turin itself and the Superga Basilica sitting on the hill. Best for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset light on the city.
