Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the stunning French Riviera, the white limestone Calanques of Marseille, and the diverse geography of Provence before descending into the 'Pink City'.
Tuscan Archipelago
Views of Elba Island and the rugged coastline of the Maremma region shortly after departure.
Côte d'Azur
Breathtaking views of the French Riviera, including the glamorous cities of Nice, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez.
Marseille & Calanques
The bustling Old Port of Marseille and the dramatic white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park.
Carcassonne
The legendary medieval fortified city with its many towers can often be spotted just southeast of the flight path during approach.
Occitanie Countryside
A mosaic of sunflowers, vineyards, and rolling hills characteristic of the Southwest France landscape.
This is the premier side for coastal sightseeing. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the best views of the Riviera. In the morning, the light illuminates the French coastline perfectly. Keep your camera ready as you pass Marseille for some of the most iconic aerial views in Europe.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep azure waters of the Mediterranean immediately after departing from Rome's coastal runway.
Cap Corse
The wild, mountainous northern finger of Corsica rising sharply from the sea to the south.
Gulf of Lion
Panoramic views of the vast Mediterranean horizon and the sweeping arc of the southern French coast.
Pyrenees Horizon
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range appear on the southwestern horizon during descent.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. Look south about 20-30 minutes after takeoff to spot the northern tip of Corsica. During winter, the low sun angle can create dramatic shadows over the sea waves.
