Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Casa De Campo International Airport (La Romana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this westbound transatlantic crossing because it faces north, avoiding the direct glare and harsh shadows of the southern sun. It offers spectacular views of the Balearic Islands, the Spanish mainland, and the most iconic landmarks of La Romana upon arrival.
Fiumicino Coastline
A great perspective of the Italian shoreline and the mouth of the Tiber River during climb-out.
The Balearic Islands
Clear aerial views of Mallorca, Ibiza, and Menorca while cruising over the Mediterranean.
Spanish Sierras
Stunning vistas of the Betic Cordillera mountain ranges as the flight crosses the Spanish mainland.
Atlantic Horizon
A vast, glare-free view of the North Atlantic, perfect for spotting unique cloud formations.
Casa de Campo Resort
The best view of the 'Teeth of the Dog' golf course and the luxury villas during the final seconds of flight.
La Romana Marina
A bird's-eye view of the Mediterranean-style village of Altos de Chavón and the yacht marina.
Choose the right side to avoid the sun and enjoy cooler cabin temperatures. For the arrival into La Romana, keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing to capture the luxury estates and famous golf courses that line the Caribbean coast.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Breathtaking views of the deep blue waters immediately after taking off from Fiumicino.
Sardinian Coastline
Distant glimpses of the rugged northern cliffs and emerald waters of Sardinia.
Strait of Gibraltar
Possible views of the narrow passage between Europe and Africa as you enter the Atlantic.
Saona Island
As you descend into LRM, look for this pristine island known for its turquoise lagoons and white sand.
Cotubanamá National Park
Dense tropical forests and limestone caves visible on the final approach from the east.
Sit on the left if you enjoy watching the sun's reflection on the ocean, though be prepared for heat and glare. This side is better for spotting the southeastern tip of the Dominican Republic near Saona Island during the standard approach into LRM.
