Which side of the plane to sit from Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transit from the Mediterranean coast through the high Swiss Alps and the picturesque Rhine river valley.
Tyrrhenian Coast
Panoramic views of the Italian mainland, including the Tuscan archipelago and Elba Island.
Central Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of the Bernese Oberland and the massive Aletsch Glacier, the largest in the Alps.
Lake Constance
The vast 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, clearly visible from high altitude.
Black Forest
The iconic, dark evergreen canopy of southwestern Germany spanning the horizon.
Rhine River
The winding path of one of Europe's most historic rivers as it flows toward the Dutch border.
This is the ideal side for morning flights to avoid the sun. The Alpine crossing usually occurs 50-70 minutes into the flight; keep your window shade up to catch the transition from sea to high peaks.
Egadi Islands
Immediate views of Favignana and Levanzo's turquoise waters right after takeoff from Trapani.
Corsica
The rugged, mountainous spine of the French island rising sharply from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Western Alps
Snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the Valais region, including potential views of the Matterhorn.
Ardennes Forest
The rolling green hills and dense woodlands stretching across Belgium and Luxembourg during the descent.
Sit on the left to capture the Sicilian coastline immediately. During late afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, potentially creating significant glare over the Alps.
