HAJSUF

Which side of the plane to sit from Hannover Airport (Hannover) to Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the right side is superior for its coastal perspectives of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the city of Rome, and the spectacular volcanic peaks of the Aeolian Islands during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🛶

Lake Constance

A massive glistening lake marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Glaciated high-altitude peaks including views of the Bernese Oberland in the distance.

🏛️

The Eternal City

Clear views of the Tiber River and the sprawling historic center of Rome near the coastline.

🌋

Stromboli Volcano

The perfectly conical active volcano of the Aeolian Islands, often seen trailing smoke.

🏖️

Costa degli Dei

The 'Coast of the Gods' featuring turquoise waters and the famous cliffside town of Tropea.

The right side is unbeatable for the approach into SUF. Ask for a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Aeolian Islands. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, the aircraft often hugs the coastline, offering spectacular views of the Calabrian beaches and the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Breathtaking views of the jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Italian Alps.

🍷

Tuscan Apennines

Rolling green hills and the rugged mountain spine of central Italy stretching toward the horizon.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

The iconic volcanic cone and its massive crater overlooking the densely populated Bay of Naples.

🌳

Pollino National Park

Large expanses of ancient forests and wild mountain landscapes as you enter the Calabria region.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct afternoon sun. The highlight is the Alpine crossing roughly 50 minutes after takeoff. As you begin your descent into Lamezia, look out for the distinctive silhouette of Vesuvius about 25 minutes before landing.
