Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the dramatic western coastline of Corsica, including the rugged cliffs of the Calanques de Piana and the spectacular limestone formations of the Strait of Bonifacio.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
πŸ’§

Ligurian Sea

Enjoy the transition from the fertile Po Valley to the deep blue waters of the Ligurian Sea after passing the mountains.

⛰️

Corsican Alps

Fly parallel to the snow-capped granite peaks of central Corsica, including Monte Cinto, which rises over 2,700 meters.

βš“

Gulf of Ajaccio

Look down upon the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte and the deep-water bays of the Corsican west coast.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Strait of Bonifacio

Witness the narrow, turquoise channel separating Corsica and Sardinia, famous for its white limestone cliffs.

πŸ–οΈ

Emerald Coastline

Pass the scenic western beaches of Sardinia, from Alghero down towards the colorful town of Bosa.

🦩

Stagno di Cagliari

During the final approach, look for the vast wetlands and salt pans near Cagliari, often home to pink flamingos.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to capture the 'Golden Hour' light reflecting off the white cliffs of Bonifacio. During the descent into Cagliari, this side provides an excellent view of the city's historic Castello district if the plane approaches from the west.

πŸ”οΈ

Apennine Mountains

Cross over the northern reach of the Apennine range shortly after departure from the Po Valley.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Spot the islands of Elba and Montecristo glistening in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west of the Italian mainland.

🏝️

Isola di Tavolara

As you reach Sardinia, look for this massive, distinctive limestone massif rising sharply from the sea near Olbia.

🌊

Gulf of Orosei

View the turquoise waters and white pebble beaches of one of Sardinia's most inaccessible and beautiful coastal stretches.

⛰️

Gennargentu Massif

See the highest peaks of Sardinia as the flight traverses the island's wild and mountainous interior.

Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid the harsh glare of the Mediterranean sun. Keep an eye out for the island of Montecristo, which is a protected nature reserve and rarely seen up close except from the air.
