Which side of the plane to sit from Timişoara Traian Vuia Airport (Timisoara) to Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (Rome)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the turquoise Dalmatian archipelago and the Croatian coast, followed by a dramatic crossing of the Apennines and a high probability of seeing Rome's historic center on the final descent into Ciampino.

Dalmatian Archipelago
An incredible view of thousands of Croatian islands, including Brač, Hvar, and Vis, scattered in the Adriatic.
Split and Trogir
Look down at the ancient Roman architecture and terracotta roofs of the Croatian coastal cities.
Abruzzo Coastline
The sandy beaches and coastal towns of Pescara and Chieti as the plane makes landfall in Italy.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peak in the Apennines, often snow-capped, providing a majestic backdrop to the Italian leg.
Rome City Center
On standard approaches from the north, you can often spot the Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica just before landing.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For the best photography of the Croatian islands, choose an afternoon flight when the sun is behind you. If the wind dictates an approach from the north, sit on this side to see the iconic landmarks of central Rome. Keep your camera ready as soon as you cross the Italian coastline.

Belgrade and the Danube
Catch a glimpse of the Serbian capital where the Danube and Sava rivers meet shortly after takeoff.
Central Dinaric Alps
View the rugged, limestone peaks and deep forested valleys of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Southern Adriatic Sea
Observe the vast expanse of the deep blue Adriatic as the flight crosses towards the Italian peninsula.
Gargano Peninsula
The distinctive 'spur' of the Italian boot, featuring the lush Forestra Umbra and dramatic coastal cliffs.
Southern Apennines
The rolling hills and high ridges of the Molise and Campania regions as you begin your descent.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better view of the inland Balkan landscapes. During the approach to Ciampino, you will see more of the Alban Hills and the volcanic lakes of Castel Gandolfo to the south of the airport.
