MUC → SUF
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia)?
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.
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'.
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.
