Which side of the plane to sit from Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome) to Timişoara Traian Vuia Airport (Timisoara)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the highest peaks of the Apennines and a breathtaking panorama of the Croatian islands across the Adriatic.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peak in the Apennines, often snow-capped, providing a dramatic backdrop shortly after takeoff.
Dalmatian Archipelago
An incredible view of the dense cluster of Croatian islands like Brač and Hvar scattered across the Adriatic.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone karst topography of Bosnia and Herzegovina with its deep valleys and sharp ridges.
Danube River
The massive blue ribbon of the Danube as it winds through the plains near the Serbian-Romanian border.
Banat Mountains
The southwestern foothills of the Carpathians visible as the aircraft begins its final descent into Timișoara.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers; the Gran Sasso is usually visible within 15 minutes of takeoff. For the best photos of the Croatian islands, ensure your window is clean as the midday sun can highlight scratches. Watch for the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers if the flight path passes near Belgrade.
Castelli Romani
The volcanic hills and crater lakes southeast of Rome visible immediately after departure from Ciampino.
Northern Adriatic
A vast expanse of deep blue as the flight crosses from the Italian peninsula toward the Balkans.
Zadar Coast
The northern Dalmatian coastline featuring the ancient city of Zadar and the Velebit mountain range.
Pannonian Basin
The transition into the flat, fertile agricultural patchwork of northern Serbia and Vojvodina.
Sit on the left during late afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare while looking north toward the Alps and the Kvarner Gulf. Keep an eye out for the distinctive grid patterns of the Serbian farmlands during the final third of the flight.
