Search flights from CAG to NAP
Gulf of Cagliari
Panoramic view of the southern Sardinian coastline and the Poetto beach upon departure.
Island of Capri
The famous Faraglioni rocks and the rugged profile of the island visible as you cross the sea.
Ischia and Procida
The volcanic island of Ischia and the pastel-colored houses of Procida seen on approach.
Sorrento Peninsula
Dramatic limestone cliffs and the gateway to the Amalfi Coast stretching into the sea.
Mount Vesuvius
The world-famous volcano standing tall over the bay, providing a dramatic backdrop for landing.
Naples Harbor
The dense urban landscape and the busy maritime port with large cruise ships and ferries.
Choose a window seat on the right for the iconic approach. If the plane lands on Runway 06, you will fly directly past Mount Vesuvius and the Sorrento coastline. This side is especially breathtaking during the late afternoon as the sun sets over the Tyrrhenian Sea, illuminating the city of Naples in golden hues.

Cagliari Center
Aerial view of the historic Castello district and the Roman Amphitheatre right after takeoff.
Salt Flats
The Molentargius-Saline Regional Park with its unique pink hues and flamingo habitats.
Tyrrhenian Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean's deep blue waters during the mid-flight cruise.
Campi Flegrei
The 'Burning Fields' volcanic area with visible caldera structures north of the city.
Stadio Maradona
The iconic stadium in the Fuorigrotta district visible during the northern approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. On departure from Cagliari, look down immediately to spot the pink salt pans and the medieval city walls. This side is better if the flight path takes a northern loop around the city during descent.
