CRL β SUF
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic Italian landmarks, including the Western Alps, the stunning Tyrrhenian coastline, and the dramatic volcanic activity of the south.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Europe is often visible in the distance as the flight passes over the Western Alps.
Ligurian Coast
The dramatic meeting of the mountains and the sea near Genoa and the Italian Riviera.
Rome & Fiumicino
On clear days, the Tiber River delta and the sprawl of the Eternal City are visible to the west.
Mount Vesuvius
An incredible view of the crater overlooking the Bay of Naples and the ruins of Pompeii.
Aeolian Islands
The volcanic cone of Stromboli occasionally puffing smoke is visible on the horizon during the final descent.
The right side is unbeatable for coastal views. Choose this side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, stay alert for Mount Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast, which are the absolute highlights of this route.
Ardennes Forest
Lush green rolling hills spanning Belgium and France shortly after takeoff from Charleroi.
Bernese Alps
Breathtaking views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross into Switzerland.
Italian Lake District
Glacial lakes like Lake Como and Lake Garda shimmering below the southern Alpine slopes.
Tuscan Countryside
The quintessential Italian landscape of cypress trees, vineyards, and terracotta villages.
Sila National Park
The 'Gran Bosco d'Italia' with its dense pine forests as you begin your descent into Calabria.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the morning to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the major inland cities and the rugged spine of the Apennine Mountains. Keep your camera ready about 50 minutes into the flight for the best Alpine photography.
