About This Airport
Which side of the plane has the best views landing at Palermo (PMO)?

On a left-side window during final approach, you'll have clear views of the Tyrrhenian Sea coastline, Monte Pellegrino, and the city grid of Palermo itself. Right-side windows during this approach vector face inland terrain with less distinctive visual interest.
