Which side of the plane to sit from Parma Airport (Parma) to Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer excellent views of the Italian landscape, the right side is superior for its perspective of the Tuscan Archipelago during the cruise and the iconic Egadi Islands and salt pans during the approach to Trapani.
Search flights from PMF to TPS
Tuscan Archipelago
Spot the islands of Elba, Pianosa, and the mysterious Montecristo rising from the blue Tyrrhenian Sea.
Deep Tyrrhenian Sea
Enjoy the expansive views of the Mediterranean's varying shades of blue during the mid-flight cruise.
Egadi Islands
Stunning aerial views of Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo surrounded by turquoise waters during the final descent.
Trapani Salt Pans
The colorful, geometric evaporation ponds and historic windmills of the Saline di Trapani just before touchdown.
Mount Erice
The dramatic limestone mountain topped with a medieval town overlooking the airport and the sea.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right for morning flights to avoid glare. The approach into Trapani-Birgi often involves a curve over the Egadi Islands; have your camera ready as the contrast between the white limestone and turquoise water is spectacular. Look for the distinct pink and white patches of the salt pans just seconds before landing.
Book Hotels in Trapani
Northern Apennines
Cross the rugged ridges and deep valleys of the Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany border shortly after takeoff.
Tuscan Countryside
Glimpse the rolling vineyards and historic estates of the Chianti region and southern Tuscany.
Lazio Coastline
Follow the Tyrrhenian coast past the Roman littoral, with views of the mouth of the Tiber river.
Gulf of Castellammare
As you descend into Sicily, view the sweeping sandy arc of the northern coast near San Vito Lo Capo.
Mount Etna (Distant)
On exceptionally clear days, look southeast to see the towering, often smoking, silhouette of Europe's largest volcano.
Sit toward the middle or rear of the cabin to keep the wing out of your photos of the Apennine peaks. This side is better for late afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing softer lighting for the Sicilian coastline. Keep an eye out for the historic center of Florence which may be visible early in the flight.
