TSFPMO

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior as it typically offers a stunning aerial view of the Venice Lagoon shortly after takeoff and follows the spine of Italy, culminating in a descent past the volcanic Aeolian Islands.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🛶

Venice and the Lagoon

Immediately after takeoff from TSF, catch the historic center of Venice and its intricate network of canals.

🏔️

Central Apennines

Cross the rugged mountain spine of Italy, often featuring snow-capped peaks in winter and spring.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

Depending on the flight path, the silhouette of the iconic volcano near Naples is visible to the south.

🔥

Stromboli

During the descent into Sicily, look for the active volcanic cone of Stromboli rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🏖️

Cefalù Coastline

View the dramatic northern Sicilian coast and the turquoise waters near the town of Cefalù before landing.

Book a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of Venice and the Aeolian Islands. Watch the flight map closely as the pass over the mountains can be quick.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

Po River Delta

See the complex network of wetlands and river branches where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic.

🏛️

Distant Rome

On clear days, the urban sprawl of the Eternal City and the Tiber River may be visible to the west.

🛳️

Tyrrhenian Sea

Vast, deep blue Mediterranean vistas with occasional sightings of ferries and cargo ships.

🐢

Ustica Island

A solitary volcanic island north of Palermo, known for its marine reserve and crystal-clear waters.

⛰️

Mount Pellegrino

The massive limestone promontory that dominates the western side of the Gulf of Palermo during landing.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to experience the 'Golden Hour' over the Tyrrhenian Sea. On the final approach into PMO, if the aircraft lands towards the east, you will have a spectacular view of the rugged cliffs of the Riserva dello Zingaro.
