FCO → RZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport (Rzeszow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic mountain scenery, featuring the jagged peaks of the Eastern Alps and a close-up perspective of the High Tatras during the descent into Poland.
Tuscan Landscapes
Shortly after departure, view the rolling hills and vineyards of central Italy.
Eastern Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Austrian peaks and the limestone Dolomites.
Vienna Basin
Distant views of the Austrian capital and the winding Danube River path.
High Tatra Mountains
The dramatic granite peaks marking the natural border between Slovakia and Poland.
Sandomierz Basin
The lush green forests and agricultural patchwork of the Subcarpathian region.
For morning flights, the left side is shielded from direct glare, providing clear visibility of the Alps. Look out for the sharp transition from the Slovakian plains to the rugged Tatras approximately 20 minutes before landing. In winter, these peaks are exceptionally photogenic when covered in snow.
Metropolitan Rome
Views of the urban sprawl and historic landmarks of the Eternal City upon takeoff.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged 'spine' of Italy, featuring Gran Sasso, the highest peak in the range.
Adriatic Coast
The turquoise waters and sandy beaches of the Italian east coast near Rimini.
Lake Balaton
The distinct turquoise hue of Central Europe's largest lake in Hungary.
Łańcut Surroundings
The historic estates and countryside surrounding the Rzeszów metropolitan area.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the 'Alpenglow' effect on the clouds. This side is also better for spotting the vast expanse of Lake Balaton in Hungary. During the approach to RZE, keep an eye out for the suburban development of south-eastern Poland.
