Which side of the plane to sit from Malpensa International Airport (Milano) to Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Italian coastline, the Tyrrhenian islands, and the breathtaking approach into Calabria over the sea.
Ligurian Sea
The deep blue waters of the Mediterranean as the plane crosses the coast south of the Alps.
Tuscan Archipelago
Spot the islands of Elba, Giglio, and Montecristo scattered across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Amalfi Coast
Aerial perspectives of the dramatic cliffs and pastel villages between Sorrento and Salerno.
Aeolian Islands
On clear days during descent, the volcanic islands of Stromboli and Lipari may appear on the horizon.
Costa degli Dei
The 'Coast of the Gods' with its turquoise waters and white sandy beaches just before landing at SUF.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The approach into Lamezia Terme often involves a wide turn over the Gulf of Sant'Eufemia, providing panoramic views of the Calabrian shoreline. Ensure your window is clean as the glare from the sea can be intense in the afternoon.
Milan & Po Valley
Aerial views of the urban sprawl of Milan and the expansive industrial plains of Lombardy shortly after takeoff.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged backbone of Italy, featuring snow-capped peaks in winter and rolling green ridges in summer.
Mount Vesuvius
The unmistakable silhouette of the volcano near Naples, often visible depending on the specific flight corridor.
Sila National Park
Dense forests and highland plateaus of northern Calabria visible as the plane begins its initial descent.
Sit on this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Keep an eye out for the distinctive cone of Vesuvius approximately 50 minutes into the flight. If the flight path is inland, you will get much better views of the Italian interior's medieval hilltop towns.
