Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning Mediterranean vistas, the right side provides a rare and spectacular view of Sicily's Mount Etna and the rugged spine of the Apennine Mountains before the descent into Malta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Po Delta Park

The intricate network of wetlands and river mouths where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic Sea.

🏔️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged central mountain range of Italy, often snow-capped in winter, stretching along the horizon.

🌋

Mount Etna

A magnificent view of Europe's most active volcano on Sicily, often trailing a plume of smoke or steam.

🏝️

Filfla Island

A tiny, uninhabited islet off the coast of Malta, serving as a landmark just before touching down at Luqa.

The right side is the 'star' for volcano enthusiasts; Mount Etna is visible for a significant portion of the flight over Sicily. For evening flights, you may catch a spectacular Mediterranean sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea in the distance.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🎭

Venice Lagoon

Shortly after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the iconic canals and historic islands of Venice shimmering in the Adriatic.

🏖️

Gargano Peninsula

The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring limestone cliffs and the lush Foresta Umbra reaching out into the sea.

🏛️

Salento Coastline

The deep blue waters of the Ionian Sea meeting the flat, olive-grove-dotted landscape of Puglia's southernmost tip.

🏰

Valletta Harbor

During the final approach, the fortified walls of Malta's capital and the Grand Harbour often appear to the left.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for seeing the Adriatic coastline of Italy and the initial panoramic view of the Venetian lagoon shortly after departure from Treviso.
