Which side of the plane to sit from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia) to Verona Villafranca Airport (Villafranca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled sequence of Mediterranean islands, the dramatic coastline of Corsica, and a superior view of Lake Garda during the approach to Verona.
Maddalena Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff, witness the turquoise waters and granite formations of this national park between Sardinia and Corsica.
Corsica Mountains
A stunning view of the rugged, high-altitude mountain spine of Corsica as you fly parallel to its eastern coastline.
Elba Island
The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, recognizable by its jagged coastline and iron-rich mountainous terrain.
Northern Apennines
Crossing the craggy peaks that divide the Mediterranean climate of the coast from the continental Po Valley.
Lake Garda
On the final descent, the southern basin of Italy's largest lake, including the Sirmione peninsula, is often visible.
Book a window seat on the left for the best views of the Bonifacio Strait. On morning flights, this side is shaded from direct sunlight, making it easier to take photos of the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea. Look for the white cliffs of Bonifacio shortly after departure.
Tavolara Island
A massive, rectangular limestone massif rising 500 meters out of the sea just off the coast of Olbia.
Tuscan Maremma
The scenic, less-developed coastline of southern Tuscany, featuring the Monte Argentario peninsula.
Distant Florence
On very clear days, you can spot the sprawling urban area of the Arno Valley and the foothills of the Mugello region.
Po Valley Mosaic
The highly organized geometric patterns of the Lombardy and Veneto agricultural plains during the descent.
Verona Cityscape
A view of the Adige River winding through the historic center of Verona just before touchdown at Villafranca.
The right side is ideal for seeing the iconic Tavolara Island immediately after departure from Olbia. During afternoon flights, the golden hour light illuminates the Apennine mountains and the Po Valley beautifully, though you may encounter more sun glare.
