RZE → FCO
Which side of the plane to sit from Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport (Rzeszow) to Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior panoramic views of the Austrian Alps and a spectacular descent over the volcanic lakes and coastline of the Lazio region.
Austrian Alps
Breathtaking views of the glaciated peaks and deep valleys of the Eastern Alpine chain.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distinctive shape of Venice and the Lido can be seen in the distance to the west.
San Marino
The tiny microstate and its towers atop Mount Titano are often visible as you cross the Italian coast.
Lake Bracciano
A massive, circular volcanic crater lake that serves as a primary landmark for the descent into Rome.
Tyrrhenian Coastline
Beautiful views of the Mediterranean shoreline and the port of Civitavecchia during the final approach.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides the most dramatic views of the Alps. During the landing phase at Fiumicino, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the volcanic lakes and the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea.
High Tatras
The jagged granite peaks of the Tatra Mountains visible shortly after crossing into Slovakia.
Adriatic Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic as the flight crosses from the Balkans toward Italy.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest massif of the Apennines, often featuring snow-capped peaks well into late spring.
Tivoli and Rome Suburbs
As the flight nears FCO, the Roman countryside and historical villa complexes come into view.
Sit on the left for morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Polish Beskids. This side is also better if the aircraft performs a southern approach (Runway 34), potentially offering distant views of the Colosseum and the city's historic center.
