FCO → TGD
Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Podgorica Airport (Podgorica)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer spectacular crossings of the Apennines and the Adriatic, the right side is preferred for its views of Rome upon departure, the distinct shape of the Gargano Peninsula, and the iconic final approach over Lake Skadar.
Search flights from FCO to TGD
Eternal City
Immediate views of Rome's suburbs and the Tiber River shortly after takeoff from FCO.
Gargano Peninsula
The prominent 'spur' of the Italian boot jutting out into the Adriatic Sea.
Tremiti Islands
A small, beautiful archipelago located just off the coast of the Gargano Peninsula.
Lake Skadar
The largest lake in the Balkans, offering stunning turquoise waters on final descent into TGD.
The right side is essential for the scenic descent into Podgorica, as the flight usually passes directly over the wetlands of Lake Skadar National Park. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the sun's glare over the Adriatic. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing for the best lake views.
Book Hotels in Podgorica
Gran Sasso d'Italia
View the highest peaks of the Apennines, often snow-capped well into spring.
Pescara Coastline
The transition from the Italian mainland to the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea.
Dalmatian Islands
Distant views of the Croatian islands Vis and Lastovo dotting the eastern Adriatic.
Bay of Kotor
On many approach patterns, the dramatic fjord-like bay is visible to the north.
Choose the left side for better lighting on the Apennine peaks during morning flights. It also provides the best chance to spot the rugged Croatian coastline if the flight path tracks slightly north. If landing from the north, you may get a glimpse of the Ostrog Monastery embedded in the cliffs.
