FCO → TRN
Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Turin Airport (Torino)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning maritime perspective, tracking the Tyrrhenian coastline and the Tuscan Archipelago before providing a grand entrance into the Alpine-ringed city of Turin.
Tyrrhenian Coastline
Breathtaking views of the Italian shoreline and the crystal-clear waters of the Maremma region.
Tuscan Archipelago
Excellent visibility of the islands of Elba and Giglio rising from the Mediterranean.
Maritime Alps
The dramatic first encounter with the snowy peaks of the Western Alps during the descent.
Turin Cityscape
A clear view of the city's grid layout and the Mole Antonelliana spire upon final approach.
Ligurian Sea
Deep blue vistas stretching toward Corsica on high-altitude segments of the flight.
Morning flights on the left avoid direct solar glare, making it easier to photograph the coastline. During the descent into TRN, watch for the shadow of the plane over the Po River. Seasonal snow on the Alps is most visible from November to April.
Lake Bracciano
A massive volcanic crater lake visible immediately after departing the Rome area.
Tuscan Hills
The iconic rolling hills and vineyards of Chianti and the Val d'Orcia in the distance.
Apennine Range
The rugged mountainous spine of Italy that runs parallel to the flight path to the east.
Po Valley
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northern Italy, characterized by geometric fields.
Monte Rosa Massif
Distant but spectacular views of the second-highest peak in the Alps on the northern horizon.
The right side is perfect for late afternoon flights, as the setting sun illuminates the Apennine peaks in gold. Keep an eye out for the transition from the rolling hills of Tuscany to the perfectly flat plains of the Po Valley near Piacenza.
