Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unrivaled perspective of the Venice historic center upon departure, followed by the majestic Tuscan Archipelago and the rugged eastern coastline of Corsica.
Venice Historic Center
An iconic aerial view of the Grand Canal, Piazza San Marco, and the 'fish' shape of the city.
Po Delta
The intricate network of wetlands and river branches where Italy's longest river meets the sea.
Apennine Mountains
Directly overflying the forested peaks of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
Tuscan Archipelago
Breathtaking views of Elba, Capraia, and the mysterious island of Montecristo.
Corsica
The rugged eastern coastline and mountainous spine of the French island of Corsica.
Costa Smeralda
The turquoise waters and rocky coves of Sardinia's famous Emerald Coast during the arrival phase.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. To see Venice, ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed view during the banking turn after takeoff. Afternoon flights offer stunning sunset views over the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Venetian Lagoon
Clear views of the Lido di Venezia and the long barrier islands during the initial climb.
Adriatic Horizon
Expansive vistas of the northern Adriatic Sea as the plane turns toward the southwest.
Central Apennines
A distant view of the rugged Italian interior peaks as you cross the peninsula.
Tavolara Island
A dramatic, sheer limestone massif rising out of the sea just south of the Olbia approach path.
Choose the left side for the most dramatic view of Tavolara Island during the final descent into Olbia. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, reducing glare for photography.
