AMM → FCO
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior as it offers a dramatic perspective of the Mediterranean coastline, the southern tip of the Italian peninsula, and potentially iconic landmarks like Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast during the descent into Rome.

Levantine Coast
Clear views of the Eastern Mediterranean shoreline shortly after crossing the Jordan-Israel border.
Southern Crete
The rugged southern coastline of the largest Greek island often appears as a stark contrast to the deep blue sea.
Mount Vesuvius
On the approach to FCO, the unmistakable silhouette of the volcano and the Bay of Naples are visible.
Amalfi Coast
The dramatic cliffs and pastel-colored villages of Positano and Amalfi can be seen as the flight tracks north.
Ancient Ostia
Just before touchdown, look for the well-preserved ruins of Rome's ancient harbor city.
Book a window seat on the left for a sunset flight to experience the 'Golden Hour' over the Tyrrhenian Sea. During the descent into FCO, the aircraft often flies parallel to the Italian coast, providing the best angle for viewing the Campanian volcanic arc. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting your photos of the Italian coastline.

Amman Cityscape
Excellent views of the white stone hills and historical sites of the Jordanian capital immediately after takeoff.
Cyprus South Coast
Distant views of the island's southern beaches and the city of Limassol across the Mediterranean.
Mediterranean Shipping Lanes
Spot large cargo vessels and cruise ships navigating the busy waters between Greece and Italy.
Greater Rome
Views of the sprawling Roman suburbs and the Tiber river as the aircraft aligns for the final landing path.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun when flying westbound. While it offers fewer land-based landmarks than the left, it provides a peaceful view of the open Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the Peloponnese peninsula of Greece in the distance if the weather is exceptionally clear.
