Which side of the plane to sit from Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart) to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Swiss Alpine peaks, the dramatic Ligurian coastline, and a full-length panorama of Corsica's rugged mountains before the final approach into Sardinia.
Bernese Oberland
Distant but clear views of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau peaks piercing the skyline.
Gulf of Genoa
The dramatic curve of the Italian Riviera where the mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.
Corsican Spine
The rugged granite peaks of Corsica's interior, often snow-capped well into the spring.
Strait of Bonifacio
The narrow, turquoise channel separating Corsica from Sardinia, featuring white limestone cliffs.
Costa Smeralda
The world-famous 'Emerald Coast' with its hidden coves and ultra-clear turquoise waters.
Afternoon flights on this side are spectacular as the sun illuminates the western faces of the Alps and the Corsican coastline. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the stunning transition from Corsica to the Sardinian coast.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests of the Schwarzwald visible immediately after departure from STR.
Lake Constance
A sprawling view of the Bodensee's eastern shore where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.
Glarus Alps
Glaciated peaks and deep valleys of the Swiss interior, including the Todi massif.
Po Valley
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northern Italy transitioning into the Apennine range.
Elba Island
The historic Tuscan island clearly visible in the Tyrrhenian Sea during the descent phase.
Sit on this side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Alpine glaciers. During the final approach into Olbia, look for the massive limestone monolith of Tavolara Island rising from the sea.
