Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more scenic perspective of the Italian mainland coastline, the dramatic Ligurian mountains, and the iconic approach over the Port of Genoa.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Mount Erice

The historic hilltop town of Erice overlooking Trapani is visible shortly after departure.

🏖️

Gulf of Castellammare

A sweeping view of the northern Sicilian coast as the aircraft turns north toward the sea.

💎

Tuscan Archipelago

Distant views of islands like Elba and Capraia as the flight proceeds up the Italian coast.

🌲

Portofino Peninsula

The lush green headland and the dramatic cliffs of the Ligurian Riviera during the initial descent.

🏙️

Genoa Cityscape

A stunning panorama of the city's pastel-colored buildings climbing the steep Apennine foothills.

🔦

The Lanterna

Genoa's historic lighthouse, one of the oldest in the world, visible during the final moments of the flight.

Choose the right side for the best lighting in the afternoon. The approach into Genoa is famous for its low pass over the harbor; the right side offers an incredible view of the 'Superba' city skyline and the mountains that drop directly into the sea. Watch for the colorful villages of the Riviera di Levante just before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Aegadian Islands

Immediate views of Favignana and Levanzo islands surrounded by turquoise waters right after takeoff from Trapani.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Uninterrupted vistas of the deep blue Mediterranean throughout the mid-section of the flight path.

⛰️

Corsican Silhouette

On clear days, the rugged, snow-capped peaks of central Corsica are visible on the western horizon.

🛳️

Genoa Anchorage

Aerial view of large container ships and ferries waiting to enter one of Italy's busiest maritime hubs.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for viewing the Aegadian Islands immediately after rotation. During the final approach to runway 28, you will see the extensive breakwaters and industrial docks of the western port area.
