Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from New Bern to Rome. While takeoff offers coastal scenery, the landing approach into Rome provides more dramatic and sustained visual interest with the Apennines and Tiber valley. The left side captures the mountainous approach and the geography surrounding one of Europe's most historically significant cities.

During takeoff from Craven Co Rgnl (EWN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side offers views of the Neuse River estuary and Pamlico Sound as the aircraft climbs northeast over coastal North Carolina. The water features and barrier islands are distinctive from low altitude during initial climb. Notable sights include: Neuse River estuary, Pamlico Sound, Outer Banks barrier islands, Atlantic coastline.

When landing at Fiumicino (FCO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides views of the Apennine Mountains as the aircraft descends toward Rome from the northeast. The mountains form a dramatic backdrop to the approach, and the Tiber River valley becomes visible in the final descent phases. Notable sights include: Apennine Mountains, Tiber River valley, Roman Campagna plains, Tyrrhenian Sea coastline.

The flight from Craven Co Rgnl (EWN) to Fiumicino (FCO) takes Approximately 9.5 to 10.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 5 hours with no significant landmarks visible. Over the eastern Atlantic, the aircraft passes south of Iceland and north of the Azores (both typically below the horizon or at extreme distance). Approaching Europe, the flight crosses over the Bay of Biscay and the Iberian Peninsula; the Pyrenees Mountains may be visible on the left side during the approach to southern France. The aircraft then crosses the Alps or passes south of them depending on the specific routing, with the Mediterranean Sea visible on the left side during the final hours before descending into Italy. The Alps appear as a distant mountain range on the northern horizon during the approach phase.
