Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the right side is superior for its perspective on the Rhine Valley at departure and the spectacular coastal approach over the Tyrrhenian Sea and Neapolitan islands.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏰

Middle Rhine Valley

A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring steep vineyards and historic castles along the Rhine river.

🌊

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

❄️

Bernese Oberland

Spectacular views of high-altitude Swiss giants including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.

🏛️

Rome and Latium

In clear weather, the sprawling Eternal City and the Tiber River are visible to the west.

🏝️

Islands of the Gulf

Stunning views of Ischia and Procida islands as the plane banks over the sea for landing.

The right side offers better lighting in the afternoon as the sun moves west. It provides the most iconic 'vacation' view of the Mediterranean coastline and the islands of the Gulf of Naples just before touchdown.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

Ruhr and Cologne

Aerial views of the industrial Ruhr area and the iconic Cologne Cathedral shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Eastern Swiss Alps

Dramatic views of the jagged peaks and glaciers of the central and eastern Swiss Alpine range.

💧

Lake Garda

The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake are often visible as you cross into the Po Valley.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged 'spine' of Italy, featuring rolling limestone peaks and remote mountain villages.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

A direct view of the world-famous volcano's crater during the final descent into Naples.

Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Alps. It is also the best spot to see Vesuvius if the aircraft follows a standard northern approach path into Naples.
