Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Lublin Airport (Lublin)?
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.
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.
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.
