Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Milano Linate Airport (Milan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior coastal panorama, featuring the Tuscan islands and the dramatic transition from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Ligurian coastline.
Tyrrhenian Coastline
Continuous views of the Maremma coastline and the blue waters of the Mediterranean shortly after departure.
Tuscan Archipelago
Clear sightings of Giglio Island and the large, mountainous silhouette of Elba Island.
Cinque Terre
A distant but distinct look at the rugged cliffs and colorful coastal villages of the Ligurian region.
Genoa Harbor
Aerial view of the massive industrial and passenger port as the plane turns inland toward Milan.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, which perfectly illuminates the coastline and prevents glare from the sea. Look out the window about 15 minutes after takeoff for the best view of Elba.
Rome Northern Suburbs
Views of the Tiber River and the northern residential expansions of the Eternal City.
Tuscan Interior
The iconic rolling hills, cypress trees, and vineyard patterns of the Val d'Orcia region.
Apennine Mountains
The central mountain range of Italy, often snow-capped during the winter and spring months.
Po Valley
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northern Italy featuring intricate irrigation patterns and rice fields.
Sit on the right for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the sea while looking back at the golden-lit hills of Tuscany. Keep an eye out for Lake Trasimeno in the distance to the east.
