TRN β REG
Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to Reggio Calabria Airport (Reggio Calabria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an extraordinary aerial tour of Italy's volcanic activity and coastline, featuring the Aeolian Islands, the active crater of Stromboli, and a panoramic view of the Strait of Messina with Mount Etna as a backdrop.
Monviso
The 'King of Stone', a prominent pyramid-shaped peak of the Cottian Alps, visible to the southwest.
Tuscan Archipelago
Views of Elba and Giglio islands dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea from a high altitude.
Stromboli
The perfectly conical active volcanic island, frequently seen emitting smoke or steam.
Aeolian Islands
A stunning chain of volcanic islands including Panarea, Vulcano, and Lipari.
Strait of Messina
The narrow blue channel separating the 'toe' of Italy from the island of Sicily.
Mount Etna
Europe's most active volcano, usually visible with a plume of smoke on the Sicilian horizon.
This is one of Italy's most scenic flight paths. The Aeolian Islands appear about 20 minutes before landing; have your camera ready for Stromboli. If traveling at sunset, the volcanic islands create spectacular silhouettes against the water. The approach into REG often involves a turn over the Strait, offering a close-up of Messina.
Turin Cityscape
Aerial view of Turin's grid layout and the Mole Antonelliana shortly after departure.
Central Apennines
The rugged limestone peaks of Italy's backbone stretching across the peninsula.
Mount Vesuvius
The iconic silhouette of the Somma-Vesuvius complex looming over the Gulf of Naples.
Costa degli Dei
The beautiful coastline of Calabria featuring the white cliffs and town of Tropea.
Aspromonte Massif
The wild, forested mountains of southern Calabria as the flight nears its destination.
Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Italian mainland features. Keep a close eye out for Vesuvius roughly 45-50 minutes into the flight. On the final descent into Reggio, the left side looks directly onto the city's famous 'Lungomare FalcomatΓ ' and the historical center.
