Which side of the plane to sit from Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is favored for its immediate views of historic Rome after takeoff and a more expansive perspective of the central Swiss Alps and Lake Constance.
Rome's Historic Center
Exceptional views of the Colosseum, Vatican City, and the Tiber River during the initial climb out of Ciampino.
Tuscan Countryside
The iconic rolling hills and vineyards of central Italy stretching toward the horizon.
Bernese Oberland
Direct views of the world-famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks while crossing Switzerland.
Lake Constance
The massive Bodensee, providing a clear geographic marker for the entry into German airspace.
Ruhr Metropolitan Area
The vast industrial and urban landscape of western Germany during the descent into Weeze.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic views of Rome shortly after takeoff. Ensure you are seated ahead of or behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the high Alpine peaks, which usually appear 45 minutes into the flight.
Tyrrhenian Coastline
The sparkling blue waters of the Italian coast visible shortly after leaving the Rome area.
Lake Maggiore
A stunning view of the deep blue alpine waters on the border between Italy and Switzerland.
Western Alpine Massifs
Views of the jagged peaks and high-altitude glaciers of the western Swiss Alps.
The Black Forest
The dense, sprawling woodlands of southwestern Germany during the mid-flight cruise.
Rhine River Meanders
The winding course of the Rhine as it flows north through the industrial heart of Europe.
Choose the left side for afternoon departures to avoid the sun's glare, which will be on the right. This side offers better views of the Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland if the flight path is slightly western.
