Which side of the plane to sit from Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of views including the northern Sicilian coast, the historic Apennines, the Venetian Lagoon, and the jagged peaks of the Dolomites, finishing with the Warsaw skyline on approach.
Sicilian Coastline
The dramatic northern coast of Sicily stretching toward Palermo.
Rome & Apennines
Vistas of the 'Eternal City' in the distance and the rugged spine of the Italian Peninsula.
Venice & Lagoon
The unmistakable shape of the floating city and its surrounding islands as you cross toward the Alps.
Dolomites
Spectacular jagged limestone peaks and dramatic vertical walls of the Italian Dolomites.
Warsaw Skyline
On the descent into Modlin, the distant skyscrapers of Warsaw are often visible to the south.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid glare and see the Dolomites in their best light. Keep a keen eye out roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Venetian Lagoon. On approach to Modlin, the Vistula River will be a key landmark.
Egadi Islands
Aerial views of Favignana and Levanzo immediately after departure from Trapani.
Tuscan Archipelago
The island of Elba and the rugged coastline of Tuscany visible across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Lake Garda
Glances of Italy's largest lake and the beginning of the Alpine foothills.
Central Alps
Extensive views of the snow-capped Austrian Alps and high-altitude glaciers.
Bohemian Basin
The rolling green landscapes and historic towns of the Czech Republic.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Egadi Islands during takeoff. For afternoon flights, this side experiences direct sunlight, which is great for seeing the Mediterranean but can cause glare; morning flights are better for photography here.
