Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic peaks of the Swiss Alps, including the Bernese Oberland, followed by a stunning coastal path past Rome and into the Gulf of Naples.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
πŸ”οΈ

Bernese Oberland

Spectacular views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks while crossing Switzerland.

πŸ’Ž

Italian Lakes

Stunning aerial perspectives of Lake Maggiore and Lake Como nestled at the foot of the Alps.

πŸ›οΈ

Rome and the Tiber

The sprawling sprawl of the Eternal City and the winding Tiber River are often visible on the descent.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Coastline

Sparkling blue waters and the jagged cliffs of the Italian west coast leading toward Naples.

🏝️

Islands of Ischia and Procida

The volcanic islands of the Phlegraean Fields appearing just before touchdown.

The right side is the premium choice for Alpine enthusiasts; you will see the highest peaks of the Swiss Alps more clearly. On clear days, the descent offers a magnificent view of Rome. Aim for a mid-morning flight to have the sun behind you for better photography. During the final turn into Naples, you may see the island of Capri in the distance if the weather is clear.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Black Forest

Dense evergreen forests of southwestern Germany visible shortly after departure from Luxembourg.

πŸ”οΈ

Central Swiss Alps

Panoramic views of the Glarus and Lepontine Alps as the flight crosses into Italian airspace.

πŸ›Ά

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake may be visible to the east as you transition over the Po Valley.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged spine of Italy stretching southwards towards the Campania region.

πŸŒ‹

Mount Vesuvius

The imposing silhouette of the world's most famous volcano typically appears during the final descent into Naples.

Sit on the left if you want a direct view of Mount Vesuvius during the final approach into NAP, especially if the plane lands towards the east. This side also avoids direct glare during afternoon flights as the sun moves toward the west. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of the Apennine ridges throughout the middle of the flight.
