Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct perspective of the high Swiss Alps and usually provides the iconic panorama of Rome's historic center on the final approach into Ciampino.

Rhine-Ruhr Basin
The densely populated industrial heart of Western Germany visible shortly after departure from Weeze.
Central Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of the glaciated peaks of the Uri and Glarus Alps during the high-altitude cruise.
Lake Como
The distinct 'Y' shaped deep blue lake nestled at the base of the Italian Alps.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged, rolling spine of Italy stretching across the horizon as you cross the Italian peninsula.
Rome City Center
On standard landings, you can spot the Colosseum and the Roman Forum as the plane descends over the city.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the historic landmarks of Rome. For the best lighting, choose morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun reflecting off the wings. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the city skyline.

Black Forest
A vast expanse of dark evergreen canopy in Southern Germany appearing mid-flight.
Bernese Oberland
Views of the world-famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks to the west.
Lake Maggiore
One of Italy's largest lakes, often featuring the Borromean Islands visible from high altitude.
Tuscan Hills
The patchwork of cypress-lined roads and vineyards typical of the Val d'Orcia region.
Lake Bolsena
The largest volcanic lake in Europe, easily identifiable by its near-perfect circular shape.
The right side is excellent for seeing the Tuscan landscape and the Tyrrhenian coastline. During winter flights, the Bernese Alps are particularly striking on this side. If the aircraft performs a circling approach (Runway 15), you may catch a glimpse of St. Peter's Basilica.
