Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Transylvanian Alps and the stunning, island-dotted Dalmatian Coast across the Adriatic.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Transylvanian Alps

Stunning views of the Southern Carpathian peaks shortly after crossing the Moldovan-Romanian border.

🏙️

Belgrade

The Serbian capital situated at the scenic confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Breathtaking views of dozens of white-shored islands scattered across the turquoise Croatian waters.

⛰️

Gran Sasso d'Italia

The highest massif of the Apennines, frequently featuring snow-capped peaks well into spring.

🛶

Lake Bracciano

A large circular volcanic lake located just north of Rome visible during the final descent.

The transition from the rugged Balkan terrain to the island-rich Adriatic coast is the visual peak of this route, occurring roughly 60 minutes after takeoff. Morning flights offer perfect indirect lighting for photography of the mountains and the sea.

🌊

Danube River

The flight crosses the lower Danube as it meanders through the fertile Romanian plains.

⛰️

Southern Balkans

Rugged mountain ridges of Serbia and Montenegro visible as you head toward the Adriatic Sea.

🇮🇹

Gargano Peninsula

The distinct spur of Italy's boot jutting into the deep blue waters of the Adriatic.

🌄

Central Apennines

Steep limestone slopes and deep valleys characteristic of the Italian interior landscape.

🏛️

Rome City Center

On specific northern approach paths, iconic landmarks like the Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica are visible.

Choose this side for the best chance to see the historic center of Rome during landing. Note that sunlight usually comes from this side during the middle of the day, which may cause glare or require window shades.
