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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Italian coastline, including the Tuscan Archipelago and the scenic transition over the Apennines into the Po Valley, ending with a stunning vista of the alpine peaks south of Turin.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Elba Island

Clear views of the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago and the surrounding turquoise waters.

⛵

Cinque Terre Coast

The dramatic cliffs and colorful villages of the Ligurian coast are often visible in the distance.

🌲

Apennine Mountains

The lush green ridges of the northern Apennines as the flight crosses from the coast to the interior.

🌾

Po Valley

The vast, fertile plains of Northern Italy with their distinctive geometric agricultural patterns.

🗻

Monviso Peak

The iconic, pyramid-shaped 'King of Stone' peak that dominates the southwestern alpine horizon.

The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the Italian mainland. Watch closely as you pass the latitude of Tuscany to spot Elba. During the descent into Turin, the right side provides a magnificent view of the Monviso, which served as the inspiration for the Paramount Pictures logo.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Palermo Coastline

Stunning views of Monte Pellegrino and the Gulf of Mondello immediately after takeoff.

🌋

Ustica Island

A solitary volcanic island visible in the Tyrrhenian Sea shortly after departure.

⛰️

Corsican Mountains

The rugged, high-altitude spine of Corsica is visible across the water to the west.

🌊

Cap Corse

The distinctive northern peninsula of Corsica pointing toward the Ligurian Sea.

🏔️

Maritime Alps

The dramatic rise of the French and Italian border peaks as the plane turns inland.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side provides the best perspective of the open sea and the rugged interior of Corsica. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the high alpine ridges bordering the Piedmont region.
