Which side of the plane to sit from Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Egadi Islands during departure, the highest Alpine peaks including Mont Blanc, and the iconic crescent shape of Lake Geneva.
Egadi Islands
Aerial view of Favignana and Marettimo islands immediately after takeoff from Trapani.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast turquoise waters and potential views of the rugged western coastline of Corsica.
Mont Blanc Massif
Breathtaking views of the highest peak in the Alps and surrounding glaciers.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Western Europe's largest lake and the city of Geneva.
Jura Mountains
Dense forests and limestone ridges marking the border between France and Switzerland.
Moselle Valley
Steep vineyard-covered slopes as the plane descends into the Hunsrรผck region.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is essential for seeing Mont Blanc and the dramatic departure from Sicily. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes and the middle 20 minutes of the flight.
Gulf of Castellammare
Panoramic views of the northern Sicilian coastline and the Zingaro Nature Reserve.
Ligurian Coast
Views of the Italian Riviera and the bustling port city of Genoa if the path is inland.
Bernese Alps
Stunning vistas of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks in the distance.
Black Forest
The vast, dark canopy of one of Germany's most famous and mystical mountain ranges.
Middle Rhine Valley
UNESCO-listed landscape featuring hilltop castles and the winding Rhine river.
Frankfurt Skyline
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of Germany's financial hub may be visible to the East.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as it stays in the shade while flying north. It offers a broader perspective of the Swiss and German landscapes. Look out for the Rhine River as it serves as a great navigational landmark during the final descent.
