Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Omaha to Rome. While takeoff favors the right, the landing approach—which offers extended views of Rome, the Tiber, and the Apennines—provides the more memorable scenic experience. The left side captures the approach corridor's most distinctive landmarks.

During takeoff from Eppley Afld (OMA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Missouri River valley and the broader Omaha metropolitan area during climb-out. Eppley typically departs eastbound, so right seats face south toward the river's distinctive meanders and the city grid below. Notable sights include: Missouri River (visible as a winding silver line through the valley), Omaha city grid and downtown skyline, Papillion Creek drainage patterns, Council Bluffs, Iowa across the river to the south.

When landing at Fiumicino (FCO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer the best views during approach to Rome. Fiumicino sits west of the city, so left seats face east toward the Tiber River, Rome's historic center, and the Apennine Mountains on the distant horizon during descent. Notable sights include: Tiber River (winding through the Roman Campagna), Rome's urban sprawl and historic districts, Apennine Mountains (distant eastern horizon), Mediterranean coastal plains and Tyrrhenian Sea to the west.

The flight from Eppley Afld (OMA) to Fiumicino (FCO) takes Approximately 9.5 to 10.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic, passing south of Greenland and Iceland, then over the North Atlantic. Over the ocean, there are no landmarks visible. Upon approaching Europe, the flight enters airspace over the British Isles (potentially visible: Irish coastline, UK landmass), then crosses the English Channel and continental Europe. Notable features include the Alps (visible as a distant mountain range during descent into Italy), the Po River valley in northern Italy, and the Apennine Mountains running north-south through the Italian peninsula. The final approach descends over the Roman Campagna—the flat agricultural plain surrounding Rome—before reaching Fiumicino on the coast.
