MXP → LRM
Which side of the plane to sit from Malpensa International Airport (Milano) to Casa De Campo International Airport (La Romana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Alpine peaks immediately after takeoff and a spectacular view of the Caribbean island chain during the final approach phase.
The Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Monte Rosa massif and the Swiss-Italian Alps shortly after takeoff.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic mountain ridges forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Puerto Rico
Excellent views of the northern coastline and lush mountains of Puerto Rico during the final hour of flight.
Mona Passage
The deep blue waters separating Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, known for its unique marine life.
For the best mountain photography, be ready immediately after takeoff from MXP to capture the Alps. On the Caribbean approach, the right side is generally better for seeing the Greater Antilles (Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico) before crossing into Dominican airspace. Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.
Ligurian Coast
Glimpses of the Italian and French Riviera as the aircraft tracks toward the Mediterranean.
Balearic Islands
Distant views of Mallorca and Ibiza if the flight path tracks south over the Mediterranean.
Azores Archipelago
Occasionally visible in the mid-Atlantic depending on the specific NAT track assigned for the day.
Saona Island
The famous white-sand beaches and turquoise lagoons of the Dominican Republic's southeast coast.
The left side is ideal for capturing the sunset over the Atlantic if you are on a late afternoon flight. During the approach to La Romana, look out for the distinct turquoise waters of the Parque Nacional del Este and Saona Island, which are often visible during the final descent.
