SVQ → CIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic trajectory along the Mediterranean coastlines of Spain and France, offering views of the Spanish Levant and the dramatic French Riviera before arriving in Italy.
Sierra Morena
The rugged mountain range separating the central plateau from the Betic Depression shortly after takeoff.
Costa de Valencia
Clear views of the Spanish eastern coastline and the sprawling urban layout of Valencia city.
Golfe du Lion
The vast sweeping curve of the French Mediterranean coast, often visible on clear days.
Marseille & Calanques
Stunning white limestone cliffs and the busy port of Marseille as the flight tracks over the Mediterranean.
Lake Bracciano
A large, circular volcanic lake located north of Rome, visible during the final descent phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. During descent into Ciampino, the left side often offers the best views of the Roman countryside and the northern suburbs. Watch for the transition from the blue Mediterranean to the Italian mainland near Civitavecchia.
Balearic Islands
Distant views of Ibiza and Mallorca rising from the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Northern Sardinia
Rugged, rocky coastlines and the Strait of Bonifacio between Sardinia and Corsica.
Pontine Islands
A small archipelago of volcanic islands including Ponza, visible in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Rome City Center
Depending on the approach path, a chance to see the Vatican and the Colosseum during the final minutes.
Castelli Romani
The hilly region southeast of Rome, home to volcanic lakes like Albano, visible just before landing.
The right side is best for island spotting. During the final approach to Runway 15 at CIA, passengers on the right might see the Roman ruins and the city's historic center if the flight path circles from the north. Be aware of strong afternoon sun on this side.
