Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Swiss Alps peaks, the iconic Tyrrhenian coastline, and a potential sighting of active volcanoes like Vesuvius and Stromboli on the approach to Calabria.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
πŸ”οΈ

Bernese Oberland

Majestic views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks as the flight traverses central Switzerland.

πŸ’§

Italian Lakes

Glittering views of Lake Maggiore and Lake Como tucked into the foothills of the Alps.

πŸ›οΈ

Tyrrhenian Coast

The beautiful coastline of Lazio and Tuscany, with glimpses of the islands of Elba and Giglio.

πŸŒ‹

Mount Vesuvius

A spectacular view of the crater and the sweeping Bay of Naples as the plane heads south.

πŸ‹

Amalfi Coast

The dramatic cliffs and pastel-colored villages of Positano and Amalfi visible from high altitude.

πŸ”₯

Aeolian Islands

On clear days, the volcanic cone of Stromboli can be seen rising from the sea just before the final turn to SUF.

The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the Tyrrhenian Sea sparkle under the sun. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes before landing to capture the Gulf of Naples and the volcanic silhouettes. This side also avoids the direct glare of the sun during morning southbound departures.

πŸ™οΈ

Benelux Urban Landscapes

Clear views of the densely populated southern Netherlands and the industrial heart of Belgium shortly after takeoff.

πŸ”οΈ

Eastern Swiss Alps

Stunning vistas of the rugged Engadin valley and the snow-capped Bernina Range as you cross into Italy.

🍝

The Po Valley

The vast, flat agricultural plains of Northern Italy, stretching towards the Adriatic Sea.

⛰️

Apennine Spine

Aerial perspective of the rugged mountain range that forms the backbone of the Italian peninsula.

🌊

Calabrian Interior

The dense forests of the Sila National Park and the narrow 'toe' of Italy before descending into Lamezia.

Sit on the left if you prefer the deep green textures of the Apennine Mountains. During morning flights, this side will be well-lit, providing excellent contrast for photography of the mountain ridges. Watch for the glittering Adriatic Sea in the far distance during the mid-flight phase.
