Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the southern French coastline, the northern tip of Corsica, and the scenic islands of the Tuscan Archipelago before approaching the Eternal City.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

Toulouse Skyline

Post-takeoff views of the Garonne River and the historic pink city architecture.

🦩

Camargue Delta

The vast wetlands and salt pans where the Rhone River meets the Mediterranean.

🏔️

Maritime Alps

Distant views of the snow-capped peaks rising behind the French Riviera.

🏝️

Cap Corse

The rugged, mountainous northern peninsula of the island of Corsica.

⛰️

Isola d'Elba

Clear views of the largest island in the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for Napoleon's exile.

🏛️

Rome Cityscape

Potential views of the Vatican and historic center depending on the landing approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the coast. During the descent into FCO, this side often provides glimpses of Rome's historic center including St. Peter's Basilica if the approach path comes from the north.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏔️

Pyrenees Range

Distant southern peaks visible on the horizon shortly after departure from Toulouse.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea during the initial cruise.

🛥️

Tyrrhenian Sea

Sparkling waters and small boat traffic during the crossing toward the Italian coast.

🚢

Civitavecchia Port

Large cruise ships and the industrial harbor of Rome's primary maritime gateway.

🏖️

Lazio Coastline

The sandy beaches of Fregene and Ladispoli just moments before touching down.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Look for the snow-capped Pyrenees in the distance shortly after takeoff from Toulouse during winter months.
