Which side of the plane to sit from Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Palermo) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?

Search flights from PMO to MRS
Ustica Island
A small volcanic island north of Sicily, often the first landmark after leaving the coast.
Corsican Peaks
Excellent views of the mountainous spine of Corsica, including Monte Cinto, often snow-capped in winter.
Côte d'Azur
The glamorous coastline from Saint-Tropez toward Marseille, featuring red rock massifs and luxury yachts.
Massif des Calanques
Striking white limestone cliffs and hidden turquoise inlets just east of Marseille.
This is the superior side for coastal photography. As you approach France, look for the red rocks of the Estérel Massif. Sunset flights are particularly spectacular on this side, as the low sun illuminates the French cliffs and the Corsican mountains in golden hues.

Palermo Skyline
Dramatic views of the Sicilian capital and the historic harbor immediately after takeoff.
Monte Pellegrino
The 'most beautiful promontory in the world' as described by Goethe, visible during the initial climb.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean waters between Sicily and the French coast.
Château d'If
The famous fortress prison on the Frioul Islands, visible just before touchdown at MRS.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Sicilian coastline during takeoff. If the flight path approaches Marseille from the south, you will get a clear view of the islands in the Bay of Marseille. Morning flights are best here to avoid the glare of the southern sun.
