Which side of the plane to sit from Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Palermo) to Lampedusa Airport (Lampedusa)?
Right Side of the Plane
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.
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.
Palermo Cityscape
Aerial views of the Sicilian capital and the distinctive shape of Monte Pellegrino as the plane climbs.
Sicilian Interior
Rolling hills and traditional agricultural landscapes of central-western Sicily shortly after takeoff.
Agrigento Coastline
A distant view of the southern Sicilian coast near the famous Valley of the Temples.
Linosa Island
The small, dark volcanic sister island of Linosa may be visible in the middle of the Mediterranean.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Sicilian mountains. It provides a great perspective of the vast Mediterranean expanse and the port entrance of Lampedusa during final descent.
