Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged western coastline of Corsica, the dramatic white cliffs of Bonifacio, and the mountainous interior of Sardinia during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

London Departure

Excellent views of the Thames Estuary and the Greater London sprawl during the initial climb from Stansted.

🍷

Central French Vineyards

Panoramic views of the patchwork fields and vineyards of the Burgundy and Rhone regions.

🌊

Mediterranean Entry

The coastline transition near Marseille or Montpellier, where the deep blue of the Med meets the rocky French shore.

⛰️

Corsican West Coast

Stunning views of the Scandola Nature Reserve and the jagged red granite cliffs of western Corsica.

🪨

Strait of Bonifacio

The famous white limestone cliffs and the narrow channel separating Corsica from Sardinia.

🌵

Sardinian Landscapes

Rugged views of the Gennargentu mountains and the unique 'Nuraghi' archaeological sites dotting the terrain.

Choose the right side for the most dramatic scenery, especially the crossing between Corsica and Sardinia. For evening flights, you will be treated to a sunset over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes after takeoff for the Corsican peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

English Channel

Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and the French coastline near Dieppe shortly after crossing the water.

🗼

Paris Distant View

On clear days, the expansive urban sprawl of Paris is visible to the east as the plane transits central France.

🏔️

Distant French Alps

The snow-capped peaks of the French Alps can often be seen shimmering on the horizon to the far east.

🏝️

Eastern Corsica

Views of the coastal lagoons and the city of Bastia as the flight crosses the Tyrrhenian side of the island.

💎

Costa Smeralda

Glimpses of the ultra-blue waters and luxury ports of northeast Sardinia before the final approach into Cagliari.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare during the middle of the journey. This side is better for spotting the distant silhouette of the Alps. Look out about 45 minutes into the flight for the Paris basin.
