OLB → VIE
Which side of the plane to sit from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the rugged Corsican mountains and a spectacular traverse of the Central Alps, providing better proximity to iconic snow-capped peaks.
Costa Smeralda
Breathtaking departure views of the turquoise waters and granite coves of northern Sardinia.
Corsican Interior
A direct look at the dramatic, jagged ridges of Monte Cinto and the high-altitude lakes of central Corsica.
Central Alpine Arc
Expansive views of the Swiss and Austrian Alps, including glaciers and deep glacial valleys.
Salzkammergut
Aerial views of the Austrian Lake District with deep blue waters surrounded by limestone massifs.
Danube Valley
The winding path of the Danube River as the aircraft begins its final descent into Vienna.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Alpine peaks perfectly. Look out for the snow-covered Grossglockner, Austria's highest mountain, which often appears mid-flight.
Tuscan Archipelago
Excellent views of Elba and smaller islands scattered across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Tuscany Coastline
The diverse landscape of the Italian mainland, featuring coastal pinewoods and rolling hills.
The Dolomites
The distinct, pale limestone formations of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites visible to the North-East.
Venetian Lagoon
Distinguishable patterns of the Adriatic coast and the unique islands surrounding Venice in the distance.
Lake Neusiedl
The vast, shallow steppe lake on the Austrian-Hungarian border during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise on early morning departures from Olbia. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of Elba Island shortly after takeoff. During the descent into VIE, you will likely see the vast vineyards of the Burgenland region.
