Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panorama of the Eternal City upon departure, the dramatic crossing of the Julian Alps, and a better angle for viewing the historic city of Krakow during the northern transit.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏛️

Rome and Vatican City

A stunning aerial perspective of the Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica shortly after departure from FCO.

🏔️

The Julian Alps

Rugged, limestone peaks of the easternmost Alps visible as the flight traverses towards Central Europe.

🏰

Krakow Skyline

Excellent views of the Wawel Castle and the historic Old Town of Krakow during the final third of the journey.

🛤️

Vistula River

The winding course of Poland's longest river as it snakes through the southern plains.

🌳

Lublin Upland

The characteristic loess ravines and rolling green landscapes surrounding Lublin during the final descent.

Opt for the left side on morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better visibility and photo quality of the Alpine peaks. Look out for the snowy summits during winter and spring months.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Adriatic Coastline

Views of the turquoise waters where the Italian peninsula meets the Adriatic Sea.

🏝️

Dalmatian Islands

Distinguishable glimpses of the Croatian archipelago and the rugged Balkan coastline to the east.

🏔️

High Tatra Mountains

The jagged, granite peaks of the highest range in the Carpathians along the Polish-Slovak border.

💧

Zemborzycki Reservoir

A large body of water on the southern outskirts of Lublin visible just before landing.

🚜

Polish Agricultural Mosaic

The colorful 'strip' fields of the Lublin region, which create a unique geometric pattern from above.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the golden hour glow over the Carpathian Mountains. Be sure to look for the distinct landscape transition from the mountainous Balkans to the flat Polish plains.
