While left wins on takeoff for Sardinian coastal drama, right dominates the landing experience with Warsaw's river geography and urban landscape. The landing view is more sustained and visually complex, making right the better overall choice for this route.
Flight Path
The flight crosses the Mediterranean north of Corsica and Elba, then transitions over the Tyrrhenian Sea toward the Italian mainland. You'll pass east of the Apennine Mountains (visible as a distant ridge on the right/east side during the Mediterranean crossing), then cross the Adriatic Sea with the Balkans visible on the right. The route then proceeds over Hungary's Great Plain before reaching the Masovian Plain approaching Warsaw. Notable midpoint landmarks include the Apennine spine, the Adriatic coastline near the Italian-Croatian border, and the flat Hungarian puszta landscape.
