Which side of the plane to sit from Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Palermo) to Strasbourg Airport (Strasbourg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the high Alpine peaks of the Bernese Oberland and a scenic descent parallel to the Rhine River and the Black Forest.
Aeolian & Ustica Islands
Volcanic islands dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea shortly after leaving the Sicilian coast.
Tuscan Archipelago
Aerial views of Elba and the rugged coastline of mainland Italy near the Maremma region.
Bernese Oberland
Incredible proximity to the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks and their massive glaciers.
Swiss Lake District
Clear views of Lake Lucerne and Lake Zurich nestled among the steep central Swiss mountains.
The Black Forest
The dense, rolling evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald visible across the Rhine during descent.
The right side is the winner for Alpine enthusiasts; keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Swiss peaks. During descent, look for the silver ribbon of the Rhine River, which acts as the natural border between France and Germany.
Gulf of Castellammare
Dramatic coastal views of the Sicilian shoreline immediately following takeoff from PMO.
Western Alps
Panoramic views of the French-Swiss Alps, including the distant snow-capped Mont Blanc massif.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake visible as the flight crosses from Switzerland into France.
Jura Mountains
The striking limestone ridges and deep valleys marking the border region of eastern France.
Alsatian Lowlands
A patchwork of vineyards and historic villages as the aircraft aligns for the final approach.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Sicilian coast during departure. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Jura and Lake Geneva without glare.
