Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Milan to Rome. While takeoff favors the right for Alpine views, the landing approach on the left side offers more dramatic and sustained scenery—the Alban Hills volcanic landscape and Tiber estuary are visually distinctive and occupy a larger portion of the descent. The landing experience outweighs the takeoff advantage.

During takeoff from Linate (LIN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Ticino River valley and the Alpine foothills to the north as the aircraft climbs southeastward from Linate. The terrain rises progressively toward the Prealps, creating layered visual depth during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Ticino River (flowing south from Switzerland), Prealps northern ridge, Lake Como (visible in distance on clear days), Po River valley to the east.

When landing at Fiumicino (FCO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during descent into Fiumicino as the aircraft approaches from the northwest. Passengers see the Tiber River estuary, the Alban Hills volcanic complex, and the Roman Campagna (countryside) spreading toward the Tyrrhenian coast. Notable sights include: Tiber River and its estuary, Alban Hills (volcanic ridge southeast of Rome), Roman Campagna agricultural plain, Tyrrhenian Sea coastline.

The flight from Linate (LIN) to Fiumicino (FCO) takes 1h 15m.

Apennine Mountains (northern chain visible to the east during cruise), Tuscany-Umbria transition zone with rolling hills, Arno River valley, Lake Bolsena (volcanic lake, occasionally visible in clear conditions), Val d'Orcia region with distinctive clay hills
