CDG → NAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it typically offers a direct view of Mont Blanc and a spectacular aerial panorama of the Gulf of Naples, including the islands of Ischia and Capri, during the descent.
Search flights from CDG to NAP
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe often appears prominently as the flight path skirts the French-Italian border.
Tyrrhenian Coast
Stunning views of the Italian coastline where the mountains of Liguria and Tuscany meet the turquoise sea.
Tuscan Archipelago
The island of Elba and its surrounding islets are clearly visible in the blue waters of the Mediterranean.
Gulf of Naples
An iconic approach featuring the islands of Ischia and Procida, and sometimes Capri, before touching down.
The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for the Alpine crossing and the coastal arrival. To avoid glare, choose an afternoon flight when the sun moves to the west. On the final approach into NAP, the plane often performs a U-turn over the sea, giving right-side passengers a full view of the city and bay.

Paris Cityscape
Clear views of the French capital's urban sprawl and the Seine river immediately following takeoff from CDG.
Swiss Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Valais and Bernese Oberland regions are visible as the flight crosses into Italy.
Central Apennines
The rugged spine of Italy featuring deep valleys and historic hill towns throughout the Tuscany and Umbria regions.
Mount Vesuvius
A close-up view of the famous volcano's crater as the aircraft prepares for its final approach into Naples.
Sit on the left for the best view of Mount Vesuvius during the descent. Morning flights provide the best lighting on this side, as the sun will be behind the aircraft or to the south. In winter, the snow cover on the Apennines is particularly striking from this vantage point.
