Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a superior perspective of the Balearic Islands during the cruise and an unparalleled view of the Roman countryside and the Eternal City during the final approach into Ciampino.
Balearic Islands
Exceptional views of Ibiza and Mallorca's intricate coastlines and hidden coves during the mid-flight crossing.
Sardinian Peaks
Distant but clear views of the granite massifs in northern Sardinia across the sea.
Lazio Coastline
The flight path often follows the Italian coast, offering views of sandy beaches near Fiumicino before turning inland.
Rome & Ancient Appian Way
Spectacular views of the historic center of Rome and the straight line of the Via Appia Antica during the final descent.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route, especially for the landing. Try to book a seat during the late afternoon to catch the 'golden hour' light hitting the white buildings of Rome. Be ready with your camera as the plane descends over the Roman suburbs, as landmarks like the Colosseum can sometimes be spotted in the distance depending on the specific approach path.
Costa del Sol
Dramatic views of the Malaga coastline and the Alboran Sea immediately after takeoff.
Northern Corsica
Aerial views of the rugged Cap Corse peninsula and the surrounding turquoise waters.
Elba Island
The mountainous island in the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for Napoleon's exile, is visible during descent.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast expanses of deep blue Mediterranean waters often dotted with ferries and cargo ships heading to Civitavecchia.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is particularly good for spotting the northern tip of Corsica and the smaller islands of the Tuscan Archipelago. Forward seats are recommended to keep the wing from obstructing the view of the coastline during the initial climb.
