Which side of the plane to sit from Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the departure over Rome's historic outskirts and the dramatic northern coastline of the Balearic Islands, while benefiting from softer lighting away from the southern sun.
Rome Cityscape
On clear departures, catch a glimpse of the Colosseum and the Vatican to the north before heading out over the sea.
Serra de Tramuntana
The rugged, UNESCO-listed mountain range lining the northern coast of Mallorca is a major highlight.
Gulf of Valencia
View the major shipping lanes and the expansive port of Valencia as the flight path transitions from sea to land.
Guadalquivir Valley
The patchwork of olive groves and fertile agricultural plains of the Guadalquivir basin during the descent into Seville.
This side is generally better for photography as it faces north, avoiding the direct sun. If the flight path takes a northern loop around the Balearics, the views of the cliffs are unmatched. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the dramatic coastline transitions.
Alban Hills
View the volcanic complex and the crater lakes of Albano and Nemi immediately after takeoff from Ciampino.
South Balearic Coast
Bird's-eye view of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of southern Mallorca and Ibiza.
Costa Blanca
The high-rise skyline of Benidorm and the rugged coastline of the Alicante province as you reach mainland Spain.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped, are visible in the distance to the south as you cross Andalusia.
Sit on this side for potential views of the Sardinian coastline. During midday flights, be prepared for significant sun glare and heat from the southern exposure. Late afternoon flights may offer a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic as you approach Seville.
