MUCSUF

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

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of views, including a direct perspective of Lake Garda, the stunning Amalfi Coast, and the iconic Mount Vesuvius before the final approach along the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
💧

Lake Garda

A breathtaking view of the entire length of Lake Garda, from the narrow fjord-like north to the wide southern basin.

🏙️

Rome & Vatican City

On clear days, the urban sprawl of Rome and the dome of St. Peter's Basilica are visible in the distance.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

An incredible top-down view of the volcanic crater and the densely populated Bay of Naples.

🌊

Amalfi Coast

The winding coastline and dramatic cliffs of the Sorrentine Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast.

🏝️

Aeolian Islands

During the final descent, the volcanic island of Stromboli can often be seen smoking on the horizon to the west.

The right side is the definitive choice for this route. Aim for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the coastline. Keep your camera ready about 50-60 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Gulf of Naples and Vesuvius. On the approach to SUF, watch for the clear turquoise waters of the 'Coast of the Gods'.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Hohe Tauern Alps

Panoramic views of the Austrian Alps, including the snow-capped Grossglockner massif early in the flight.

🏘️

Verona

The historic city of Verona and the Adige River winding through the northern Italian plains.

⛰️

Central Apennines

The rugged spine of Italy featuring the Gran Sasso and Majella massifs as you head south.

🌲

Pollino National Park

Dramatic limestone cliffs and ancient pine forests marking the border between Basilicata and Calabria.

Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the vast mountain ranges of central Italy. In the morning, this side will be brightly lit, which is great for seeing detail but can cause glare on the window. During the winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Dolomites are particularly spectacular from this vantage point.
