Which side of the plane to sit from Reggio Calabria Airport (Reggio Calabria) to Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome)?
Right Side of the Plane
Flying north along the Tyrrhenian coast, the right side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the wild mountains of Calabria to the iconic Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.
Search flights from REG to FCO
Aspromonte Massif
Rugged, wild mountain peaks visible immediately after departing Reggio Calabria.
Costa degli Dei
The stunning turquoise coastline near Tropea and the dramatic Parghelia cliffs.
Amalfi Coast
The dramatic, steep cliffs and colorful villages of Italy's most famous coastline.
Mount Vesuvius
The imposing silhouette of the volcano that dominates the landscape of the Campania region.
Gulf of Naples
A panoramic view of the bustling city and the magnificent blue curve of the bay.
Agro Pontino
The historic plains and reclaimed wetlands leading toward the final approach into Rome.
The right side (Seats F) is essential for landmark spotters. Watch for Mount Vesuvius approximately 35 minutes into the flight; it is the most significant landmark on this route. Morning flights are ideal as the eastern sun illuminates the coastline without the haze often found in the late afternoon. Ensure you have your camera ready as you pass the Gulf of Salerno for the first glimpse of the Amalfi Coast peaks.

Strait of Messina
The narrow and legendary channel separating Sicily from mainland Italy seen right after takeoff.
Stromboli
The distant, smoking cone of the active volcano in the Aeolian archipelago visible on clear days.
Pontine Islands
The volcanic peaks of Ponza and Ventotene appearing as jewels in the open sea.
Tyrrhenian Sunset
Incredible golden hour views over the Mediterranean on evening departures.
Choose the left side (Seats A) if you prefer the tranquility of the sea or are flying during the evening to catch the sunset over the water. While further away from the main coastline, you may spot the smoke from Stromboli on exceptionally clear days. As you descend into Fiumicino, this side often provides a view of the mouth of the Tiber River and the Roman coastline.
