POZCIA

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the highest sections of the Austrian Alps and the iconic skyline of Rome, including the Colosseum and Vatican, during the final approach to Ciampino.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏰

Prague

Excellent views of the Vltava River and the red roofs of the Czech capital approximately 30 minutes into the flight.

❄️

High Alps

Breathtaking panoramas of the highest Austrian glaciers and limestone massifs.

🛶

Venice Lagoon

A distant but distinct view of the Venetian archipelago and the surrounding marshlands.

🌻

Tuscan Landscape

Classic rolling hills, cypress trees, and vineyard patterns as you enter Central Italy.

🏛️

Historic Rome

Unbeatable views of the Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Roman Forum during the descent into Runway 15.

Sit behind or in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps. This side is particularly spectacular during late afternoon flights when the 'Golden Hour' illuminates the Roman ruins and the mountains.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Wrocław

Aerial views of the historic Market Square and the Odra River shortly after departure from Poznań.

🏔️

Eastern Alps

Dramatic snowy peaks near the border of Austria and Slovenia, offering rugged mountain terrain.

🌊

Adriatic Coast

The sparkling blue waters of the Italian coastline stretching from Rimini down towards Ancona.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The central spine of Italy, featuring deep valleys and traditional hilltop villages.

🍷

Castelli Romani

The lush volcanic hills and Lake Albano visible just before touching down at CIA.

Choose this side on morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It is the best side for viewing the sunrise over the Adriatic if flying very early. Keep an eye out for the deep blue of the Mediterranean as you cross the Italian peninsula.
