Which side of the plane to sit from Split Airport (Split) to Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more scenic departure over the Split archipelago and a stunning crossing of the highest Apennine peaks.
Diocletian's Palace
A unique aerial perspective of Split's UNESCO-listed heart during the initial climb.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Intricate views of Šolta and the northern islands scattered in the blue sea.
Adriatic Crossing
Expansive views of the water stretching north toward the Gulf of Venice.
Gran Sasso Massif
The highest peak in central Italy, offering dramatic, often snow-capped vistas.
Lazio Valleys
Lush green rolling hills and Tiber river tributaries as you approach Fiumicino.
Best for morning flights for optimal lighting on the Croatian islands and the Apennines. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best views of Split's old town and Marjan hill.
Split Port
Clear views of the ferry terminals and the southern Marjan peninsula during takeoff.
Vis Island
Distant views of the outermost Dalmatian islands across the turquoise Adriatic.
Abruzzo Coast
The sandy shoreline and coastal towns of central Italy as you cross the coastline.
Majella National Park
Rugged limestone ridges and deep valleys of the southern Apennine range.
Alban Hills
Scenic volcanic lakes and historic summer residences south of Rome during descent.
Sit here on afternoon flights to minimize glare and capture the sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea upon arrival in Rome. Watch for the Gargano Peninsula far to the south mid-flight.
