Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the high Swiss Alps, the dramatic coastline of the Italian Riviera, and an extended view of the rugged Corsican mountains before the final approach into Sardinia.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks, including the Eiger and Jungfrau.
Genoa & Liguria
The crescent-shaped coast of the Italian Riviera and the bustling port of Genoa.
Corsica Traverse
An incredible longitudinal view of the 'Island of Beauty' and its dramatic granite mountain spine.
Costa Smeralda
The famous 'Emerald Coast' of Sardinia with its turquoise coves and luxury resorts visible during descent.
The right side is unbeatable for Alpine photography. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Corsican mountains. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the dramatic transition from the snowy Alps to the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Berlin Skyline
A sprawling view of the German capital and the TV Tower shortly after departure if taking off to the east.
Hohe Tauern
Distant views of the eastern Austrian Alps, including the majestic Grossglockner massif.
Tuscan Coastline
Vistas of the Italian mainland including the port of Livorno and the rolling hills of Tuscany.
Isle of Elba
The historic island where Napoleon was exiled, visible as a gem in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Gulf of Olbia
Views of the industrial port and the crystalline waters of the inner gulf during the final turn for landing.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly good for spotting the Italian mainland and the smaller islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. During the descent, keep an eye out for the distinctive silhouette of Tavolara Island rising from the sea.
