Search flights from LWO to FCO
High Carpathians
Dramatic mountain scenery along the border regions of Ukraine, Slovakia, and Hungary.
Lake Balaton
The largest lake in Central Europe, easily spotted by its unique turquoise color and elongated shape.
Julian Alps
Breathtaking snow-capped peaks of Slovenia and Northeastern Italy visible during the cruise phase.
Gulf of Venice
Distant views of the Venetian Lagoon and the sparkling Adriatic coastline.
Tuscan Hills
The iconic patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, and hilltop towns of central Italy.
Tyrrhenian Sea
The deep blue Mediterranean waters and the coastline near Ostia during the final approach.
The right side is spectacular for sunset flights as the sun dips toward the Mediterranean horizon. To avoid the wing obscuring the Alps and Tuscan landscapes, aim for seats in the forward section (Rows 1-10) or the very rear of the aircraft. Keep a close eye out approximately 45 minutes after takeoff for the distinct shape of Lake Balaton.

Lviv Cityscape
Aerial view of the UNESCO-listed historic center and High Castle hill shortly after takeoff.
Eastern Carpathians
The southern ridges of the Carpathian range with dense forests and winding river valleys.
Great Hungarian Plain
Vast agricultural landscapes and the rural heartland of Eastern Hungary.
Central Apennines
The rugged spine of Italy featuring limestone peaks and deep valleys as you cross the peninsula.
Lazio Countryside
Traditional Italian villas and suburban Rome as the aircraft begins its final descent into Fiumicino.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is also preferable if the aircraft approaches FCO from the north, as it can occasionally offer distant views of the city of Rome and its historic landmarks.
