LPL → NAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior perspective of the Western Alps, including Mont Blanc, and offers the iconic aerial view of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples during the descent.
Parisian Basin
Views of the French capital area in the distance during the transit south.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe often towers clearly to the right.
Tyrrhenian Coast
The beautiful coastline of Tuscany and Lazio visible as the plane tracks south.
Mount Vesuvius
The world-famous volcano dominates the landscape on the final approach into NAP.
Islands of the Bay
Aerial views of Procida, Ischia, and Capri just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the scenic arrival into Naples. Most flight paths approach from the sea or loop around the volcano; sitting here ensures you see the crater and the city. Aim for a mid-afternoon flight to have the sun behind you for the best photography.
English Channel
The crossing from the southern English coast toward northern France.
The High Alps
Spectacular views of the central Swiss and Italian Alpine peaks.
French Vineyards
The structured landscapes of the Burgundy and Rhone regions.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged limestone ridges forming the spine of Italy.
Choose the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare and to catch the sunrise over the Alps. It is also better for spotting inland Italian cities like Bologna or Florence depending on the specific airway used by the pilot.
