OTPAHO

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Dalmatian Coast's numerous islands and the sprawling metropolitan area of Rome before crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea towards Sardinia.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Transylvanian Alps

The southern edge of the Carpathian Mountains offers jagged peaks and deep valleys shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Belgrade

The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at the heart of the Serbian capital.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

A breathtaking mosaic of hundreds of Croatian islands set against the turquoise Adriatic Sea.

🏛️

Rome and Vatican City

As the plane traverses Italy, you can often spot the Tiber River and the dome of St. Peter's Basilica.

⛵

Maddalena Archipelago

Crystal clear waters and granite islands visible as the flight descends toward northern Sardinia.

The right side is generally the winner for this route due to the stunning Croatian coastline. For the best view of Rome, look out about 60-70 minutes into the flight. If landing towards the east, you might also catch a glimpse of the famous 'Capo Caccia' cliffs just before touchdown.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
💧

Iron Gates

The dramatic gorge where the Danube River cuts through the Carpathian and Balkan Mountains.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Rugged limestone peaks stretching across Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

On clear days with a southerly approach, the iconic silhouette of the volcano and the Bay of Naples are visible.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Deep blue waters punctuated by the distant volcanic islands of the Pontine archipelago.

🏖️

Gulf of Orosei

The stunning limestone cliffs and hidden coves of eastern Sardinia as you approach the island.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is superior if the flight path takes a more southerly route over the Amalfi Coast. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of the 'boot' as you cross the Italian mainland.
