Western Sicily
Panoramic views of Trapani, the Aegadian Islands, and the salt pans shortly after departure.
Rome & Latium
Visible views of the Roman coastline, including the port of Civitavecchia and the outskirts of the Eternal City.
Central Apennines
The rugged spine of Italy featuring high peaks and traditional hilltop villages.
Venice & The Lagoon
The ultimate highlight: a direct view of the Piazza San Marco, the Grand Canal, and the historic islands during descent.
The right side is essential for seeing Venice. Ensure you are in a window seat not obstructed by the wing. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so sunglasses are recommended. The final 10 minutes of the flight are the most critical for photos.
