MRS → FCO
Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a nearly continuous view of the stunning French and Italian Rivieras, with the dramatic backdrop of the Maritime Alps and the Tuscan coastline during descent.
French Riviera
Clear views of Cannes, Nice, and the Baie des Anges immediately after departure.
Principality of Monaco
The high-density skyline and famous harbor of Monte Carlo are visible from cruising altitude.
Maritime Alps
Snow-capped peaks of the southern Alps meeting the Mediterranean coastline.
Port of Genoa
The massive industrial and historic port area of the Italian Ligurian capital.
Coastal Tuscany
The Maremma region and the port of Civitavecchia appearing during the descent into Rome.
To maximize visibility, choose a seat ahead of the wing. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the coastal cliffs. During the final approach into FCO, you may see the northern Roman suburbs if the plane loops inland.
Ligurian Sea
Expansive views of the deep azure Mediterranean waters throughout the flight.
Cap Corse
The northern tip of the island of Corsica is often visible on the horizon to the south.
Isola d'Elba
The rugged topography of the island where Napoleon was famously exiled.
Tuscan Archipelago
Smaller islands like Capraia and Giglio dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Ostia Antica
The ancient Roman port ruins and the mouth of the Tiber river just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or sunset flights as the sun sets over the sea. Keep an eye out for the distinct silhouette of Elba Island approximately 30 minutes into the flight.
