Which side of the plane to sit from Reggio Calabria Airport (Reggio Calabria) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning panorama of the Tyrrhenian coastline, featuring iconic landmarks such as Mount Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast, and a superior view of the Venetian Lagoon upon arrival.
Strait of Messina
Aerial view of the narrow passage separating Calabria from Sicily and the city of Messina.
Mount Vesuvius
The famous volcano dominates the landscape as the flight passes the Gulf of Naples.
Rome & The Tiber
Clear views of the Eternal City and the winding Tiber River during the mid-flight segment.
Tuscan Archipelago
Spot islands like Giglio and Elba dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west.
Venice Historic Center
On a typical approach to Runway 04L, the left side provides a direct view of St. Mark's Square.
Amalfi Coast
Dramatic cliffs and colorful villages visible as the plane tracks north from Calabria.
Book a window seat on the left for the best chance to see Venice's historic core during landing. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the coastline. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Neapolitan area.
Aspromonte Massif
Rugged, wild mountain terrain immediately visible after departing Reggio Calabria.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peak of the Apennines, often capped with snow well into the spring.
San Marino
The microstate perched atop Monte Titano is visible as you approach the Emilia-Romagna region.
Po River Delta
The complex network of waterways where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic Sea.
Adriatic Riviera
The endless sandy beaches of Rimini and Riccione stretching along the eastern coast.
Dolomite Horizon
On clear days, the jagged peaks of the Italian Alps appear on the northern horizon during descent.
The right side is perfect for mountain lovers. Morning flights provide the best light for the Apennine range. Watch for the transition from the rugged southern mountains to the flat, fertile Po Valley as you approach the final phase of flight.
