Passengers on the right will see the turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea and the rugged limestone cliffs of the Sicilian coastline as the aircraft climbs away from the airport.
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea to the rugged mountains of Corsica and the distant Pyrenees range.
The left side offers a superior view of the high Western Alps, including potential views of Mont Blanc, and provides better angles for the English Channel crossing and London skyline during the final approach.
The right side offers a superior view of the Tuscan islands, a glimpse of the distant Alps, the dramatic extinct volcanoes of Central France, and the final approach over the Loire Valley's historic landscape.
