Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the majestic Western Alps, the glittering Tyrrhenian coastline, and a scenic descent over the islands of the Bay of Naples.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌲

Black Forest

Dense evergreen forests of Southwest Germany visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🏔️

Western Alps Peaks

Possible views of famous peaks like the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc in the distance.

💧

Italian Lakes

The deep blue waters of Lake Como or Lake Maggiore often visible on the descent into the Po Valley.

🏖️

Tyrrhenian Coast

The stunning shoreline of Tuscany and Lazio, including views of the island of Elba.

🏝️

Islands of the Gulf

Spectacular views of Ischia, Procida, and Capri during the descent into Naples.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight; the approach often follows the coastline, providing incredible views of the islands and the city skyline.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏰

Cologne & Rhine River

Aerial views of the Cologne Cathedral and the winding Rhine valley immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Dramatic peaks of the central and eastern Swiss Alps as you cross into Italy.

🏙️

Po Valley

The sprawling industrial and agricultural heartland of Northern Italy.

⛰️

Apennine Spine

The rugged mountain range that forms the backbone of the Italian peninsula.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

A close-up view of the legendary volcano during the final approach into Naples.

Sit on the left for a potential view of Vesuvius on final approach. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Alps on this side. If the plane circles to land from the west, you will get a direct look into the crater.
