Which side of the plane to sit from Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport (Perugia) to Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Italian coastline, a distant look at Rome, and the most scenic approach over the Sardinian mountain interior and the colorful salt pans near Cagliari.

Lake Trasimeno
Visible shortly after takeoff, Italy's fourth largest lake sits nestled among the Umbrian hills.
Rome Periphery
As the plane heads south, look for the sprawling urban expanse of the Eternal City to the east.
Gennargentu Massif
The rugged, mountainous heart of Sardinia provides a dramatic landscape during the descent.
Gulf of Cagliari
The deep blue waters of the southern Sardinian coast as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
Molentargius Salt Pans
Distinctive pink-hued wetlands near the airport, famous for their resident flamingo population.
The left side is optimal for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes after takeoff for the Umbrian landscape. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, the transition from the rugged Sardinian mountains to the coastal lagoons is spectacular. Look for the 'Sella del Diavolo' rock formation near the coast.

Perugia Skyline
Excellent views of the hilltop historic center of Perugia immediately after departure from PEG.
Tuscan Archipelago
Distant views of islands like Giglio and Montecristo dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Fiumicino Coastline
Aerial perspective of the Roman coast and the busy hub of Leonardo da Vinci International Airport.
Cagliari Harbor
Views of the industrial and passenger port as the plane touches down at Elmas.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Tyrrhenian Sea. This side provides a better view of the Tuscan islands if the flight path is slightly more westward. It also offers a clear view of the Cagliari city harbor and the western suburbs of the capital during the landing roll.
