Which side of the plane to sit from Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari) to Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Italian coastline during departure and a breathtaking view of the Egadi Islands and the historic salt pans upon arrival in Trapani.
Venetian Lagoon
Look out shortly after departure to see the distant outlines of Venice and the vast wetlands of the Po Delta.
Roman Coastline
See the Tyrrhenian coast near Rome, including the mouths of the Tiber river and the nearby coastal towns.
Ustica Island
A solitary volcanic island appearing as a dark speck in the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea during the approach to Sicily.
Egadi Archipelago
Stunning views of Favignana and Levanzo islands, surrounded by turquoise waters, as the plane aligns with the runway.
Trapani Salt Pans
The iconic 'Saline di Trapani' with their historic windmills and white salt mounds are visible just moments before touchdown.
The right side is highly recommended for the spectacular views of the Egadi Islands during the final approach. For afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, so have your window shade ready. The salt pans are most vibrant during the summer months when salt production is at its peak.
Grado Lagoon
Immediately after takeoff from TRS, view the intricate network of islands and sandbanks in the northern Adriatic.
Apennine Mountains
As the plane crosses the Italian peninsula, observe the rugged ridges and deep valleys of the central mountain range.
Mount Vesuvius
On a clear day, look south as you pass the Lazio/Campania border to see the distinct silhouette of the volcano near Naples.
Palermo Coastline
Enjoy views of the northern Sicilian coast, including the dramatic cliffs of Capo Gallo as you descend.
Mount Erice
Just before landing, the ancient town of Erice perched atop its mountain is visible to the east of the flight path.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while viewing the Italian mainland. This side is better for seeing the interior geography of Sicily and the prominent Mount Erice during the final descent into TPS.
