Which side of the plane to sit from Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Palermo) to Verona Villafranca Airport (Villafranca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior mix of coastal scenery, views of the Tuscan archipelago, and a high probability of seeing the expansive blue of Lake Garda during the descent into Verona.
Gulf of Castellammare
Dramatic views of the Sicilian coastline and the Tyrrhenian sea shortly after takeoff.
Ustica Island
A small, lone volcanic island visible in the deep blue waters off the coast of Palermo.
Tuscan Archipelago
Distant views of Giglio and Elba islands as the flight tracks north along the Italian peninsula.
Tuscan Hills
The iconic rolling green landscape and vineyards of central Italy's wine country.
Apennine Mountains
Rugged ridges and peaks that form the spine of Italy, often snow-capped in winter.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake, offering a spectacular glacial blue vista just west of the arrival path.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The final 15 minutes are crucial; keep your camera ready as the plane enters the Po Valley for views of Lake Garda's southern shores. During spring, the contrast between the snowy Apennines and green Tuscany is particularly striking.
Palermo & Monte Pellegrino
An unbeatable panoramic view of the Sicilian capital nestled between the mountains and the sea.
Aeolian Islands
On very clear days, the volcanic silhouettes of Lipari and Vulcano may be visible to the east.
Lake Bolsena
A large, perfectly circular volcanic crater lake located in northern Lazio.
Po Valley
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Italy, characterized by a geometric patchwork of fields.
Verona Historic Center
Clear views of the Adige River and the red roofs of the ancient city center during landing.
The right side is best for the initial climb out of Palermo, providing the best perspective of the city's urban sprawl. On late afternoon flights, the golden hour light illuminates the Apennine ridges beautifully. Watch for the distinctive shape of the Verona Arena during the final turn toward the runway.
