Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tirana to Genoa. The northwestward flight path favors right-side seats for the majority of the journey. Takeoff offers the Dinaric Alps, and the cruise segment provides views of the Adriatic Sea, the Pindus Mountains of Greece (distant, on the right), and the Italian coast approaching from the southeast. Left seats gain advantage only during the final 15-20 minutes of descent into Genoa.

During takeoff from Tirana Rinas (TIA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Dinaric Alps running north-south along Albania's eastern border during initial climb. The mountains rise steeply inland from Tirana and provide dramatic relief against the Adriatic coastal plain to the left. Notable sights include: Dinaric Alps (eastern skyline), Lake Ohrid (visible on clearer days, ~80 km southeast), Adriatic Sea coastline (western edge), Tirana city grid (directly below during climb-out).

When landing at Genova Sestri (GOA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer the best views during approach to Genoa. The Ligurian coast, Portofino peninsula, and the Gulf of Genoa are positioned on the left as the aircraft descends from the northeast. The city itself sits in a natural amphitheater of coastal hills. Notable sights include: Ligurian Apennines (inland, south-facing slopes), Gulf of Genoa (Golfo di Genova), Portofino peninsula and headlands (eastern approach), Genoa harbor and breakwaters (final descent).

The flight from Tirana Rinas (TIA) to Genova Sestri (GOA) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.

Adriatic Sea (dominant feature for 45+ minutes of cruise), Corfu island (visible on right/east side if flight path passes east of it), Italian coast near Brindisi or further north (right side, visible 30-40 minutes before landing), transition from open sea to the Ligurian coastline (final 20 minutes)
