Which side of the plane to sit from Treviso-Sant'Angelo Airport (Treviso) to Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (Catania)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views, the right side provides a superior perspective of the Apennine backbone of Italy and a direct, dramatic approach to Mount Etna as you descend into Sicily.
The Apennines
The rugged mountain spine of Italy, often snow-capped in winter, dominates the central portion of the flight.
Aeolian Islands
On clear days, spot the volcanic peaks of Lipari and the active cone of Stromboli rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Taormina Coastline
View the famous hilltop town and the ancient theater perched above the coastline just before reaching Catania.
Mount Etna
An unbeatable, close-up view of Europe's most active volcano, often venting plumes of steam or ash.
Catania Cityscape
The urban sprawl of Catania nestled between the dark volcanic rock and the blue Gulf of Catania.
The right side is essential for the best view of Mount Etna. Choose a seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the volcano's crater. Evening flights offer spectacular sunsets over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennine peaks.
Venice and the Lagoon
Shortly after takeoff, view the historic center of Venice, its canals, and the expansive Venetian Lagoon.
Adriatic Riviera
Follow the sandy coastlines of Rimini and Riccione stretching along the turquoise Adriatic Sea.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring the lush Foresta Umbra and dramatic white limestone cliffs.
Ionian Sea
The deep blue expanse as the flight crosses from the mainland toward the eastern tip of Sicily.
Etna Eastern Flank
View the volcanic slopes and the Valle del Bove during the final descent into Fontanarossa.
Sit on the left for the most iconic view of Venice shortly after departure from Treviso. During morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Adriatic coastline.
