Which side of the plane to sit from Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani) to Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this Northbound route, offering a stunning departure over the Egadi Islands and a world-class view of the Venice Lagoon and the Venetian islands during the descent into Trieste.
Egadi Islands
Breathtaking views of Favignana and Levanzo immediately after takeoff from Trapani-Birgi.
Ustica Island
The solitary volcanic island of Ustica appears as a dark gem in the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea.
Tuscan Archipelago
Excellent perspectives of Elba Island and the rugged coastline of the Maremma region.
Venice and the Lagoon
The absolute highlight of the flight; see the historic center of Venice, the Rialto Bridge, and St. Mark's Square from above.
Julian and Carnic Alps
On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Alps dominate the northern horizon during descent.
Book an 'A' window seat. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Egadi Islands, while late afternoon flights offer a spectacular golden hour glow over the Venice Lagoon. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the intricate details of Venice.
Northern Sicilian Coast
Views of the Gulf of Castellammare and the mountains surrounding Palermo shortly after departure.
Apennine Mountains
The 'backbone' of Italy, showing dramatic ridges and high-altitude villages as you cross into the Po Valley.
Po River Delta
The complex network of waterways and wetlands where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic Sea.
Miramare Castle
Just before landing, look for the white Istrian stone castle perched on the Grignano promontory.
Port of Trieste
A view of the historic Austro-Hungarian docks and the city of Trieste as the plane banks toward the runway.
Select an 'F' window seat. This side is ideal for sunrise flights, as you'll see the sun emerge over the Adriatic Sea. It is also the better side for observing the transition from the rugged Apennine terrain to the perfectly flat agricultural grid of the Po Valley.
