Which side of the plane to sit from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?

Tihany Peninsula
The historic abbey and volcanic inner lakes of Balaton's northern shore right after takeoff.
Kvarner & Dalmatian Islands
A spectacular sequence of islands including Krk, Cres, and Hvar set against deep turquoise waters.
Zadar Coastline
Aerial views of the historic Croatian port city and its unique coastal architecture.
Central Apennines
Crossing the spine of Italy, often featuring snow-capped peaks like Gran Sasso in winter and spring.
Gulf of Naples
During the final turn, enjoy a broad view of the city, the harbor, and the island of Ischia.
Sit on the right for the best coastal scenery over Croatia. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the islands and the Italian mountain ranges for photography.

Lake Balaton South
The sprawling southern shores of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake visible shortly after departure.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, rocky karst terrain of Bosnia and Herzegovina stretching toward the horizon.
Gargano National Park
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring dense ancient forests and dramatic limestone sea cliffs.
Mount Vesuvius
A thrilling view of the massive crater and the volcanic slopes overlooking the Campanian plain.
The left side is prime for spotting Vesuvius during the final descent, especially if landing from the northeast. Aim for late afternoon flights to see the Italian landscape bathed in a warm, golden glow without the glare of the sun.
