Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an unparalleled view of the Central Alps and the most iconic views of Rome's historic monuments during the final approach into Ciampino.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

Southern Swedish Lakes

Vast expanses of deep green pine forests interspersed with thousands of small, pristine glacial lakes during the initial climb.

💧

Alpine Lakes

Stunning aerial perspectives of major lakes like Lake Constance or Lake Garda, depending on the specific air traffic control routing.

🏔️

Swiss & Austrian Alps

A majestic panorama of snow-capped peaks and winding glacial valleys through the heart of the European continent.

🍷

Tuscan Hills

The classic Italian landscape of rolling vineyards, cypress-lined roads, and Renaissance villas near Florence and Siena.

🏛️

The Eternal City

Unmatched views of the Tiber River, the Vatican, and the Colosseum as the aircraft banks for its final approach into Rome Ciampino.

Choose the right side for flights arriving in the late afternoon to see the golden hour light hitting the Tuscan hills. Ensure your window is clear for the final 10 minutes of the flight, as this side typically provides the legendary 'Rome flyby' view before touchdown.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🇸🇪

Swedish Archipelago

Breathtaking views of the Baltic coastline and the scattered islands of Södermanland immediately after takeoff from Skavsta.

🇩🇪

North German Plain

A geometric tapestry of agricultural fields and massive wind farms across the flat landscapes of Northern Germany.

🏔️

The Dolomites

The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Eastern Alps provide a dramatic vertical contrast to the flat plains of the north.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the shimmering waters of the northern Adriatic and the distant outline of Venice are visible to the east.

⛰️

Apennine Ridge

The rugged spine of Italy featuring deep valleys and ancient hilltop villages throughout the Umbria and Marche regions.

Opt for the left side during early morning departures to experience the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. It is also the superior side for observing the dramatic textures of the Dolomite mountains in the mid-flight phase.
