EDI â NAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Western Alps, including Mont Blanc, followed by a stunning coastal descent over the Mediterranean and a front-row seat to the Bay of Naples and Capri during the final approach.
English Channel
Views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the French coast.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Europe is often visible as you cross the Western Alps.
Italian Riviera
The sparkling turquoise waters of the Ligurian Sea and the colorful coastal towns.
Tuscan Archipelago
Spot the island of Elba and smaller gems scattered in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Bay of Naples
A spectacular panorama of the bay, featuring the islands of Capri and Ischia on descent.
The right side is best for the dramatic entry into Naples. Most approaches loop over the sea, giving you a stunning view of Capri and the Sorrento Peninsula. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to get clear shots of the Alps.
Scottish Borders
Aerial views of the rolling hills and rugged coastline as the flight leaves the UK.
Central Alps
Expansive views of the snow-capped Swiss and Italian Alps and deep glacial valleys.
Rome & Latium
Look inland to spot the sprawling capital of Italy and the Tiber River winding through it.
Mount Vesuvius
An iconic view of the world-famous volcano as you begin the final descent into Naples.
Sit on the left for a direct view of Mount Vesuvius on your final approach. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you as you fly south, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Alpine peaks.
