Which side of the plane to sit from Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani) to Turin Airport (Torino)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior mix of island vistas upon departure and a dramatic, close-up panoramic view of the Western Alpine arc including Monviso during the descent into Turin.
Egadi Islands
Immediately after takeoff from Trapani, look down for the crystal-clear turquoise waters surrounding Favignana and Levanzo.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue sea as the flight tracks northwards parallel to the Italian peninsula.
Corsica & Cap Corse
On clear days, the rugged, mountainous silhouette of northern Corsica is visible across the water to the west.
The Western Alps
As you approach Piedmont, the massive wall of the Alps rises sharply, featuring the iconic pyramid of Monviso.
Susa Valley
During the final descent, catch views of the deep glacial valleys that lead from the high peaks down to the Turin plain.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The Egadi islands appear within the first 5-10 minutes of flight. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Ligurian coast, as the transition from sea to the high Alps happens quickly and is very photogenic.
Gulf of Castellammare
A sweeping view of the northern Sicilian coastline and the mountains near San Vito Lo Capo shortly after departure.
Tuscan Coastline
Distant views of the Italian mainland, often including the Maremma region and the coastal plains of Tuscany.
Ligurian Riviera
Views of the curved coastline near Genoa and the colorful villages of the Italian Riviera as you cross back over land.
Langhe Vineyards
The rolling, UNESCO-listed hills of Piedmont, famous for Barolo wine, visible as a patchwork of green and gold.
Turin Cityscape
A great perspective of the city's grid layout, the Po River, and the distinct spire of the Mole Antonelliana on final approach.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm 'golden hour' light reflecting off the Italian coast. If the plane approaches Turin Airport from the south, this side typically offers the best view of the city center and the Basilica of Superga on the hilltop.
