Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views, the right side provides a superior perspective of the dramatic western Corsican coastline and the iconic Capo Caccia cliffs during the final approach into Alghero.

Paris Cityscape
On clear days, the sprawl of the French capital and its surrounding suburbs are visible to the west.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged terrain of south-central France.
Western Corsican Cliffs
Stunning views of the Scandola Nature Reserve and the dramatic red porphyry inlets of Porto.
Capo Caccia
The massive limestone headland and Neptune's Grotto location, signaling your arrival in Alghero.
Alghero Old Town
The historic Catalan-style sea walls and the harbor as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is the 'money side' for the landing. As the plane descends into Alghero-Fertilia, you will get a front-row seat to the 'Sleeping Giant' rock formation at Capo Caccia. For afternoon flights, be prepared for direct sunlight; high-quality sunglasses are recommended. Try to sit forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Corsican mountains.

The English Channel
Clear views of the White Cliffs of Dover and the busy shipping lanes between the UK and France.
The French Alps
Panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks of the High Alps as the plane cruises south toward the Mediterranean.
Côte d'Azur
The glittering blue waters and luxury coastline of the French Riviera near Nice and Cannes.
Eastern Corsica
The long, flat lagoons and sandy stretches of the eastern Corsican plain and the city of Bastia.
Strait of Bonifacio
The turquoise waters separating Corsica from Sardinia, often dotted with ferries and yachts.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to minimize sun glare while viewing the Alps. It offers the best chance to see the Tuscan Archipelago, including the island of Elba, in the distance. During the descent, look for the emerald waters of the Costa Smeralda if the pilot takes a slightly eastern approach over northern Sardinia.
