Pontine Islands
The beautiful islands of Ponza and Ventotene surrounded by deep blue Mediterranean waters.
Mount Vesuvius
An iconic aerial view of the active volcano and the densely populated Bay of Naples.
Amalfi Coast
The dramatic cliffs and colorful coastal villages of Positano and Amalfi visible from a distance.
Gulf of Policastro
A sweeping view of where the mountains of Basilicata and Calabria meet the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Stromboli
On clear days, the smoking cone of this active volcanic island is visible on the southern horizon.
The right side is the definitive choice for scenery. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sunset over the sea. Avoid sitting directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Vesuvius. During the final approach into SUF, keep your camera ready for the steep cliffs of the 'Costa degli Dei'.

Castelli Romani
Ancient volcanic lakes and hillside towns located just south of Rome shortly after takeoff.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged limestone peaks of the central and southern Apennine range stretching inland.
Monte Cassino
The historic Benedictine abbey perched on its famous hilltop can be spotted in the distance.
Pollino National Park
Dense forests and high-altitude wilderness marking the entrance into the Calabria region.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare from the west. It provides a great view of the mountainous backbone of Italy. Look for the snow-capped peaks of the Pollino Massif during winter and spring months as you begin your descent into Lamezia Terme.
