Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the stunning islands in the Gulf of Naples (Ischia, Procida, and Capri) and provides the most iconic perspective of Mount Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast during the final descent into Naples.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Strait of Bonifacio

Stunning views of the narrow sea passage separating the islands of Corsica and Sardinia.

🏝️

Ischia and Procida

Detailed vistas of these volcanic islands with their colorful harbors and lush green hills during descent.

🍋

Sorrento Peninsula

The dramatic cliffs and winding roads of the Amalfi Coast stretching out into the blue Tyrrhenian Sea.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

A magnificent view of the world's most famous volcano, often circled during the landing pattern.

🛥️

Capri Island

Look south to spot the distinctive Faraglioni rock formations and the steep limestone cliffs of Capri.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. For the best experience, try to sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mount Vesuvius during the banking turn for Runway 06. Evening flights provide spectacular sunset views over the Gulf of Naples.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Costa Brava

Aerial views of the rugged Catalan coastline and the Mediterranean beaches shortly after takeoff from BCN.

🏔️

Northern Corsica

The high, snow-capped peaks of the French island's northern interior are often visible across the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🏛️

Lazio Coastline

As the flight approaches the Italian mainland, the coast near Rome and the port of Civitavecchia can be seen.

🏘️

Naples Historic Center

On final approach, a detailed view of the densely populated urban sprawl and historic quarters of Naples.

Sit on the left if you prefer views of the Italian mainland and the urban layout of Naples. This side is also better for avoiding direct sun glare during afternoon flights heading eastward.
