Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Reggio Calabria to Milano. The right side captures the dramatic Strait of Messina and Sicilian geography during takeoff, which is the most visually distinctive segment of this relatively short flight. The landing approach offers less dramatic scenery, making the superior takeoff views the deciding factor.

During takeoff from Reggio Calabria (REG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer immediate views of the Strait of Messina and the Calabrian coastline as the aircraft climbs northward. The narrow strait between Reggio and Sicily is visually striking and clearly visible during the initial climb phase. Notable sights include: Strait of Messina, Sicilian coast to the south, Aspromonte mountain range (inland to the west), Tyrrhenian Sea.

When landing at Malpensa (MXP), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Malpensa, particularly of the Alpine foothills and the approach over the Ticino River valley. The descent path typically brings the western Alps into clear view on the left side. Notable sights include: Western Alps (Monte Rosa massif region), Ticino River valley, Lake Maggiore, Lombardy plains.

The flight from Reggio Calabria (REG) to Malpensa (MXP) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Tyrrhenian Sea heading northwest, passing over the Apennine Mountains (visible as a north-south spine of ridges), then transitions into the Po River valley and Lombardy plains. The Apennines form the most notable midpoint landmark—a continuous mountain range running the length of the Italian peninsula. Lake Trasimeno and other central Italian lakes may be visible depending on exact routing. The transition from Mediterranean terrain to Alpine foothills is gradual but marked by increasing elevation and vegetation changes.
