Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, transitioning from the snow-capped Maritime Alps to the azure French Riviera, followed by the rugged western coastline of Corsica and the dramatic limestone cliffs of Alghero.

Scandola Reserve

Capo Caccia

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight; the descent often passes directly alongside the massive cliffs of Capo Caccia and the Porto Conte bay.
