Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Tuscan Archipelago islands and provides the best view of the Milan city center and the Alps during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Gulf of Castellammare

Breathtaking views of the turquoise Sicilian coastline immediately after takeoff from Falcone-Borsellino.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Clear views of the islands of Elba, Capraia, and Montecristo as the flight tracks along the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🚢

Livorno and Ligurian Coast

Aerial perspective of the busy port of Livorno and the dramatic transition where the Apennines meet the sea.

🏙️

Milan City Center

On the standard approach to Runway 36, the Duomo, San Siro, and the CityLife skyscrapers are visible to the west.

🏔️

The High Alps

A stunning backdrop of the snow-capped Monte Rosa massif and the Pennine Alps during the descent into the Po Valley.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is essential for seeing the Milan skyline during the landing phase. In winter, the contrast between the Mediterranean blue and the white Alpine peaks is most dramatic.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Mount Pellegrino

A close-up view of Palermo's 'most beautiful promontory' as the aircraft climbs away from the Sicilian coast.

🏛️

Lazio Coastline

Distant views of the Italian mainland, including the Tiber River mouth and the outskirts of Rome.

🍷

Tuscan Hinterland

The rolling hills and distinctive agricultural patterns of central Italy as the flight crosses near Grosseto.

🏘️

Po Valley Panoramas

Geometric patterns of rice paddies and industrial hubs characteristic of the Lombardy region during the final descent.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' glow over the Apennine Mountains. While you miss the city center on landing, you get a broader view of the vast Po Valley and the eastern suburbs of Milan.
