Which side of the plane to sit from Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani) to Cuneo International Airport (Cuneo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with the Egadi Islands off Sicily, moving to the sweeping arc of the Ligurian coastline, and finishing with the rolling UNESCO-listed vineyards of Piedmont.
Egadi Archipelago
Immediate views of Favignana and Levanzo islands right after takeoff from Birgi.
Ligurian Riviera
A stunning view of the Italian coastline stretching from Sanremo toward Savona as the plane approaches the mainland.
Ligurian Apennines
The mountain range that separates the Mediterranean from the Po Valley, featuring deep green valleys.
Langhe Wine Region
The geometric patterns of the Barolo and Barbaresco vineyards create a patchwork quilt effect on the hills below.
Mondovì & Cuneo Plains
The transition from the rugged hills to the flat Piedmontese plateau dotted with red-roofed villages.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights as the sun sets to the west, illuminating the Ligurian coast and the Piedmontese hills in golden light. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for the best shots of the Sicilian islands.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean waters shortly after departing Trapani.
Corsican Ridges
On clear days, the rugged, high-altitude mountain spine of Corsica is visible in the distance to the west.
Maritime Alps
As you cross the coastline near the French border, the dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Mercantour come into view.
Monviso Peak
The iconic, pyramid-shaped 'King of Stone' is often visible on the left during the final descent into Cuneo.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is particularly spectacular in winter and early spring when the French and Italian Maritime Alps are heavily covered in snow, providing a sharp contrast with the sea.
