Which side of the plane to sit from Modlin Airport (Warsaw) to Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi (Trapani)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of geographic landmarks, including the High Tatras, the stunning Croatian archipelago, and the mountainous spine of Italy, finishing with a beautiful perspective of the Sicilian coastline.
Tatra Mountains
Aerial views of the highest range in the Carpathians along the Polish-Slovak border.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of islands and turquoise waters along the Croatian Adriatic.
Central Apennines
The rugged snow-capped peaks forming the 'backbone' of the Italian peninsula.
Mount Vesuvius
The iconic silhouette of the volcano overlooking the Bay of Naples during the descent south.
Aeolian Islands
Small volcanic islands like Stromboli may be visible in the distance as you approach Sicily.
The left side is optimal for avoiding direct sun glare on southward flights during the late morning and afternoon. It provides the best perspective of the Italian mainland's geography. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Adriatic Sea for the best contrast between the deep blue water and white limestone islands.
Sudetes Range
The forested peaks of the Karkonosze mountains on the southwestern edge of Poland.
Austrian Alps
Glaciated alpine peaks and deep valleys visible as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast, sun-drenched sea views as the aircraft makes its final turn toward the Sicilian coast.
Egadi Islands
A stunning view of Favignana and Levanzo islands during the low-altitude approach to Trapani.
Trapani Salt Pans
The unique pink and white geometric patterns of the ancient salt evaporation ponds near the runway.
The right side is unbeatable for the final 10 minutes of the flight. As the plane banks for its approach into Birgi, you get a clear view of the Egadi archipelago. For morning flights, this side offers beautiful soft light over the Mediterranean, but expect some glare during sunset flights.
