Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the Gran Sasso massif immediately after takeoff and a superior vantage point for the Rome metropolitan area and the Tuscan Archipelago across the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Gran Sasso d'Italia

Incredible views of Corno Grande, the highest peak in the Apennines, located just northwest of the flight path.

🏛️

Rome Metropolitan Area

A panoramic perspective of the Eternal City, the Tiber River, and the surrounding volcanic lakes like Bracciano.

⛰️

Tolfa Mountains

Rugged volcanic hills north of Rome that mark the transition from the mountains to the Tyrrhenian coast.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Clear day views of islands like Giglio and the mysterious Montecristo sitting on the northern horizon.

🌾

Campidano Plain

The vast, fertile plains of southern Sardinia visible as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Elmas.

Be ready immediately after takeoff for the Gran Sasso peaks. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Italian peninsula and the Sardinian landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Majella National Park

Dramatic limestone peaks and deep canyons of the southern Apennines visible shortly after leaving Pescara.

🏝️

Pontine Islands

The volcanic archipelago including Ponza and Ventotene appearing as jewels in the blue Tyrrhenian Sea.

🌊

Gulf of Gaeta

A wide sweeping view of the Lazio and Campania coastline meeting the sea in the distance.

🏖️

Poetto Beach

Cagliari's iconic 8km urban beach visible during the final descent into the Gulf of Angels.

🦩

Molentargius Salt Works

Vibrant salt pans near the airport, often shimmering with pink hues from the resident flamingo populations.

Choose this side for the best views of the Sardinian coastline upon arrival. For afternoon flights, this side faces south away from the sun, providing better lighting for photography without glare.
