Which side of the plane to sit from Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Palermo) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the rugged peaks of the Swiss Alps and the picturesque Italian coastline north of Rome.
Sicilian Northern Coast
Immediate views of the dramatic cliffs and azure bays surrounding Palermo upon takeoff.
Tuscan Archipelago
Views of Elba and other smaller islands dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea near the Italian mainland.
The Swiss Alps
Direct, stunning views of snow-capped peaks including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the 'Bodensee' marking the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Rhine River Gorges
The winding Rhine river valley, famous for its steep vineyards and historic castle ruins.
The right side is unbeatable for Alpine scenery. Aim for a mid-day flight when the sun is high to illuminate the glaciers and valleys. During the approach to Weeze, keep an eye out for the distinctive meanders of the Rhine river and the industrial silos near the Dutch border.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep blue waters as you depart Sicily and head north towards the French coast.
Corsica & Sardinia
Distant but clear views of the mountainous coastlines of these Mediterranean islands.
Mont Blanc
On clear days, the highest peak in the Alps is visible in the distance to the west.
Black Forest
Dense, dark green forest canopies stretching across the southwestern corner of Germany.
Rhine-Ruhr Region
The dense urban landscape and industrial heartland of Western Germany during the final descent.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. In the winter months, the low sun from the south-east makes this the cooler, shaded side. Look out for the French coastline as you transition from the Mediterranean to the European mainland.
