Which side of the plane to sit from Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual journey, featuring the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites, views of the Danube river near Vienna, and the spectacular Tatra Mountains before a scenic approach over Warsaw's rising skyline.
Adriatic Coastline
Views of the sparkling blue waters near Venice and the northern Italian lagoons.
The Dolomites
Unrivaled views of the jagged, pale peaks of the UNESCO-listed Italian Dolomites.
Vienna & The Danube
Spot the winding Danube river and the metropolitan sprawl of Vienna and Bratislava.
High Tatra Mountains
The dramatic, alpine-style peaks of the Carpathian range forming the border between Slovakia and Poland.
Warsaw Skyline
During the descent, look for the tall skyscrapers of Warsaw's financial district reflecting the light.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right. This side captures the late afternoon sun illuminating the Dolomite peaks in shades of pink and orange. As you approach Modlin, keep your eyes peeled for the Vistula River, which serves as a natural guide toward the airport.
Ancient Rome
Immediately after takeoff from Ciampino, catch a glimpse of the Colosseum and the historic center of the Eternal City.
Apennine Mountains
Aerial views of the rugged spine of Italy as the flight heads north-northeast toward the Adriatic.
Central Austrian Alps
Expansive views of the snow-capped High Tauern range and the massive glaciers of central Austria.
Bohemian Massif
The rolling hills and dense forests of the Czech Republic's Vysočina Region.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct eastern sun. This side is ideal for seeing the sprawling suburban landscape of Rome during departure and the vast agricultural plains of Mazovia during the final descent into Modlin.
