Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers the most direct views of the Italian Dolomites and the main ridge of the Austrian Alps, followed by clear perspectives of the urban sprawl of Vienna and Warsaw.

Lake Bracciano
A stunning volcanic crater lake located just north of Rome, visible during the initial ascent.
The Dolomites
The iconic jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps provide a dramatic landscape about 40 minutes into the flight.
Vienna Basin
View the Austrian capital and the Danube River as the flight traverses Central Europe.
Warsaw Cityscape
The high-rise skyline of the Polish capital is frequently visible before crossing the border into Belarus.
For morning flights, the left side keeps the sun at your back, providing optimal lighting for photography of the Alps. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting the mountain views.

Eternal City Views
Depending on the runway departure, you may see the Vatican and the Tiber river winding through Rome.
Central Apennines
The rugged, mountainous spine of Italy provides beautiful textures during the first 20 minutes of flight.
High Tatras
The highest range of the Carpathian Mountains, visible along the border of Slovakia and Poland.
Polesie Marshes
Vast, lush wetlands and dense forests characteristic of the southern Belarusian landscape during the descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the European continent. It offers a unique perspective of the Carpathian range if the flight path tracks slightly south toward the Lublin region.
