LIN → NAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Milano Linate Airport (Milan) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of the journey, including the departure over Milan's skyscrapers and the definitive aerial perspective of Mount Vesuvius and the dense urban tapestry of Naples during the standard approach from the sea.
Milan Skyline
Shortly after takeoff from Linate, views of the Duomo and the modern skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova district.
Northern Apennines
Dramatic mountain ridges and valleys as the flight leaves the Po Valley and crosses into central Italy.
Rome Peripheral
A distant but clear view of the urban sprawl of Rome and the winding Tiber river heading toward the coast.
Mount Vesuvius
The most famous volcano in the world appears prominently on the left as the aircraft aligns for its final approach into Naples.
Naples Urban Heart
A bird's-eye view of the historic center, including the grid-like Spaccanapoli and the Port of Naples.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mount Vesuvius. On afternoon flights, this side is shaded from the direct sun, providing the best lighting for photography of the volcano and the Neapolitan cityscape. In winter, look for snow caps on the Apennine peaks during the mid-flight segment.
Po River Meanders
The winding curves of Italy's longest river cutting through the fertile agricultural plains of Lombardy.
Tuscan Archipelago
Far-off glimpses of the Island of Elba and the surrounding Tyrrhenian islands during the cruise phase.
Tyrrhenian Seaboard
Scenic views of the coastline stretching from the Maremma down toward the Lazio region.
Islands of Ischia and Procida
Beautiful volcanic islands with colorful harbors visible during the descent into the Gulf of Naples.
Capri and Sorrento
The rugged silhouette of Capri and the steep limestone cliffs of the Sorrento Peninsula to the south.
This side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the coastline and islands from the east. Keep your camera ready as you pass the island of Ischia; the contrast between the green volcanic slopes and the deep blue sea is spectacular. It is also the better side for viewing the Tyrrhenian sunset on evening flights.
