ZRH → EBA
Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Marina Di Campo Airport (Marina Di Campo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the Tuscan coastline, the iconic city of Pisa, and the rugged Apennine range, complemented by a stunning initial view of the Swiss Alps.
Glarus Alps
Immediate views of the jagged peaks and Lake Zurich following a southern departure from ZRH.
Gotthard Massif
Aerial perspective of the deep alpine valleys and the historic mountain pass region.
Milan Cityscape
The sprawling metropolis of Milan and the surrounding fertile plains of the Po Valley.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged spine of Italy featuring deep green forests and winding mountain roads.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Spot the distinct Piazza dei Miracoli and the Arno River as you reach the coast.
Piombino Port
Clear view of the ferry hub connecting mainland Italy to the Tuscan Archipelago.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft and avoid glare. Look for the white marble quarries of Carrara as you cross from the mountains to the sea. This side typically offers the best view of the Elba-mainland channel and the port of Piombino during the final approach.
Bernese Oberland
Stunning vistas of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks shortly after takeoff.
Lake Maggiore
A beautiful view of the western shores and the Borromean Islands nestled in the water.
Ligurian Sea
The deep blue transition from the Italian mainland to the open Tyrrhenian waters.
Gorgona & Capraia
Remote islands of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park visible during the descent.
Monte Capanne
The granite summit of Elba's highest mountain as the plane circles for landing.
Elba's North Coast
Bird's-eye view of the turquoise bays and white pebble beaches of the island.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering a golden hour view over the sea. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes after takeoff for the high Alpine peaks. During the final landing pattern at EBA, this side provides a more dramatic view of Elba's mountainous interior and the rugged western cape.
