Saline di Trapani
The historic salt pans and windmills of Trapani visible right after takeoff.
Mount Vesuvius
On clear days with a standard flight path, the iconic silhouette of Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples can be seen.
Gran Sasso Massif
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of the Central Apennines during the crossing to the Adriatic.
Port of Ancona
A clear view of the historic harbor and the 18th-century Lazzaretto (Mole Vanvitelliana) during descent.
San Ciriaco Cathedral
The Romanesque cathedral perched on the Guasco hill overlooking the sea just before landing.
The right side is excellent for inland landmarks. During the descent into Ancona, keep your camera ready for the steep cliffs of the Conero Regional Park if the plane approaches from the south. Late afternoon flights provide beautiful golden hour lighting on the Apennine peaks.

Egadi Islands
Aerial perspective of Favignana and Levanzo shortly after departure from Trapani.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast stretches of deep blue water as the flight heads north-northeast towards the mainland.
Lazio Coastline
Distances views of the beaches and coastal towns near the mouth of the Tiber River.
Northern Apennines
Views of the distant mountain ridges that form the backbone of the Italian peninsula.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Egadi archipelago immediately after takeoff. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the sun reflecting off the Tyrrhenian Sea, providing clearer visibility of the Tuscan islands in the distance.
