Which side of the plane to sit from Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic perspective of the northern Mediterranean route, including potential views of the dramatic Bonifacio cliffs between Corsica and Sardinia, followed by a stunning approach featuring the Pyrenees mountains and the Gulf of Roses.
Marettimo Island
The westernmost Egadi island, characterized by its high limestone peaks and sea caves.
Cliffs of Bonifacio
On a northern-tilted route, see the striking white limestone cliffs of southern Corsica across the strait.
Gulf of Roses
A massive, sweeping bay that marks the northern start of the Costa Brava region.
Pyrenees Mountains
The snow-capped peaks of the border range between Spain and France provide a majestic backdrop to the descent.
Les Alberes
The easternmost foothills of the Pyrenees where the mountains meet the Mediterranean sea.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers; the Pyrenees appear on the horizon about 20 minutes before landing. For the best views of the Strait of Bonifacio, hope for a northerly flight path. Use a polarized lens for photos to cut through the haze over the Balearic Sea.
Egadi Islands
Immediate views of Favignana and its turquoise coves shortly after departure from Trapani.
Sardinian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean, often crossing the southern tip of the Sardinian coastline.
Costa Brava Coastline
The rugged 'Wild Coast' of Spain with its hidden calas and rocky outcrops as you approach Girona.
Girona Cathedral
The imposing silhouette of the historic city center visible during the final descent into GRO airport.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Sicilian islands. As you approach Spain, watch for the distinct transition from the Mediterranean blue to the rocky, pine-covered cliffs of the Catalan coast. This side is typically shielded from direct afternoon sun glare when flying west.
