The right side offers a spectacular aerial view of western Sicily's rugged coastline followed by the iconic turquoise waters and white cliffs of Lampedusa upon approach.

Right Side Highlights

🌊

Gulf of Castellammare

Stunning views of the deep blue waters and coastal cliffs immediately after departing PMO.

🧂

Trapani Salt Pans

The bright white patches and historic windmills of the salt flats visible near the western tip of Sicily.

🏝️

Egadi Archipelago

Clear views of Favignana and Levanzo islands dotting the sea to the west.

🌋

Pantelleria Silhouette

On clear days, the volcanic profile of Pantelleria can be spotted on the western horizon during the cruise phase.

🏖️

Spiaggia dei Conigli

The world-famous Rabbit Beach and its crystal-clear turquoise bay are often visible during the landing pattern.

🧗

Northern Cliffs

The dramatic, sheer limestone cliffs of Lampedusa's uninhabited northern coast as the plane banks for arrival.

This is the premier side for photography. To capture the best colors of the famous Rabbit Beach, try to book a flight between 10 AM and 2 PM when the sun is high and illuminates the shallow water. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the cliffs isn't obstructed.
