Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unbeatable perspective of the Egadi Islands immediately after takeoff from Trapani and provides a dramatic view of Pantelleria's rugged volcanic coastline during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🦋

Favignana Island

The butterfly-shaped island visible almost immediately after takeoff, known for its crystal-clear bays.

⛰️

Levanzo and Marettimo

The more rugged and distant islands of the Egadi archipelago visible on the horizon.

⛴️

Maritime Traffic

Observe the cargo ships and ferries navigating the busy shipping lanes between Italy and Tunisia.

🗿

Volcanic Cliffs

The dark, dramatic obsidian and basalt cliffs of Pantelleria's western shore.

🏗️

Dammuso Houses

Look for the traditional white-domed stone houses dotting the island's landscape during landing.

The right side is essential for the Egadi Islands. For the best photographic contrast of the dark volcanic rock against the sea, take an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western cliffs of Pantelleria. Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes of flight for the best island views.

Isola di Mozia

The ancient Phoenician island nestled within the shallow waters of the Stagnone Lagoon.

Strait of Sicily

The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean that separates the European and African plates.

🌋

Montagna Grande

The highest peak of Pantelleria, a dormant volcanic cone that dominates the island's center.

Choose the left side for detailed views of the Sicilian coastline and the unique 'Specchio di Venere' lake if the flight path approaches from the north. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the turquoise coastal waters.
