RYG → CIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge) to Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Italian peninsula, featuring the rolling hills of Tuscany and a potentially iconic aerial view of Rome's historic center on the final approach.
Jutland Coastline
Sweeping views of the Danish west coast and the meeting point of the North Sea and the Skagerrak.
Dolomites & Lake Garda
Stunning jagged peaks of the Italian Dolomites followed by the deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake.
Tuscan Landscape
The iconic patchwork of vineyards and olive groves between Florence and Siena as the plane crosses Central Italy.
Lake Bracciano
A massive volcanic crater lake located just north of Rome, marking the final stage of the descent.
Rome & The Vatican
Unmatched views of the Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Tiber River when landing on Runway 15.
The right side is essential for the 'Rome City Tour' during the final approach. If landing on Runway 15 (typical in fair weather), sit behind the wing for a clear view of the Vatican. This side is also best for seeing the sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea on late afternoon flights. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.
Oslofjord
Immediate views of the intricate Norwegian coastline and islands surrounding Rygge upon departure.
Dresden & Elbe Valley
Views of the historic city of Dresden and the dramatic sandstone formations of the Saxon Switzerland National Park.
Austrian Alps
A breathtaking traverse over the High Tauern range, often featuring the snow-capped Grossglockner peak.
Venetian Lagoon
A distant but clear view of the Adriatic coastline and the unique geography of the Venetian wetlands to the east.
Apennine Spine
The rugged central mountain range of Italy, showing the transition from the Po Valley into the Mediterranean climate.
Select the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. The highlight here is the high-altitude crossing of the Austrian Alps; look for the deepest snow packs roughly 90 minutes after takeoff. On the final descent, watch for the ancient villas of Tivoli nestled in the hills.
