TIA → TRN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (Tirana) to Turin Airport (Torino)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning vistas, the right side provides a superior view of the majestic Alpine arc and the Monte Rosa massif during the descent into Turin, complemented by views of the Po River Delta and the northern Italian lakes.
Dalmatian Coast
Distant views of the Croatian islands and the rugged Balkan coastline across the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Po River Delta
The intricate network of wetlands and lagoons where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic Sea near Chioggia.
Milan Skyline
The dense urban sprawl of Lombardy and the gleaming skyscrapers of Milan's Porta Nuova district in the distance.
Monte Rosa Massif
Spectacular, close-up views of the second-highest peak in the Alps during the descent into the Piedmont region.
Basilica of Superga
This stunning hilltop basilica on the outskirts of Turin is a landmark highlight during the final descent phase.
The right side is the 'Alpine side.' For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the lighting on the Alps is spectacular. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Matterhorn peak visible far to the north during the cruise over northern Italy.
Durrës Coastline
Aerial view of Albania's primary port city and the sandy stretches of the Adriatic coast immediately after takeoff.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peaks of the Apennine Mountains, often snow-capped, providing a rugged contrast to the Italian coastline.
San Marino
On clear days, the tiny enclave of San Marino perched atop Mount Titano is visible as you fly over the Marche region.
Emilia-Romagna Plains
The structured agricultural grid and historic cities of the 'Motor Valley', including Bologna and Modena.
Monviso Peak
Known as the 'Stone King', this pyramid-shaped mountain is clearly visible to the south during the final approach to Turin.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of the Adriatic sunset during evening flights. Watch for the Gran Sasso massif roughly midway through the flight. During landing at TRN, the left side often looks toward the city center and the iconic Mole Antonelliana if the approach is from the north.
