Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior Mediterranean experience, featuring the rugged peaks of the Maritime Alps at takeoff, the dramatic coastlines of Corsica and Sardinia mid-flight, and a spectacular approach over the Egadi Islands and salt pans near Trapani.
Maritime Alps
Breathtaking views of the snowy peaks separating Italy and France shortly after clearing the Po Valley.
Corsican Coastline
High-altitude views of the wild eastern coast of Corsica, known for its pristine beaches and turquoise waters.
Sardinian Shoreline
The rugged granite cliffs and hidden coves of the Gallura region in northeastern Sardinia.
Egadi Archipelago
A stunning low-altitude view of Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo islands during the final approach phase.
For the best experience, choose the right side on afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. The highlight of this route is the landing; depending on wind direction, you will likely fly directly over the Egadi Islands and the Stagnone Nature Reserve, where you can see the historic white salt pans and windmills of Marsala.
Turin Cityscape
A clear view of the historic center of Torino, including the Mole Antonelliana, immediately after departure from TRN.
Ligurian Coast
The sparkling waters and coastal towns of the Italian Riviera as the plane crosses the coastline near Genoa.
Tuscan Archipelago
Aerial views of Elba and Montecristo islands floating in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Mount Erice
During the descent into Trapani, the iconic medieval hilltop town of Erice often becomes visible on the left.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to see the Italian mainland illuminated by the sun. Keep an eye out for the rugged northern coast of Sicily and the San Vito lo Capo peninsula as you begin your final descent. On very clear days, you may even spot the distant silhouette of Mount Etna to the southeast.
