Search flights from NAP to BCN
Mount Vesuvius
An unparalleled view of the massive crater and the volcanic slopes overlooking the Bay of Naples immediately after takeoff.
Cliffs of Bonifacio
The striking white limestone cliffs of southern Corsica are often visible as the flight path passes through the strait.
Barcelona Grid
On the standard approach into Runway 24R, you get a 'bird's eye' view of the Eixample district and the Sagrada Família.
Torre Glòries & W Hotel
Spot Barcelona's modern landmarks and the iconic 'sail' hotel along the Barceloneta beachfront.
The right side is the 'scenic winner' for this route. Sit in front of the wing for the best views of Vesuvius. If landing from the sea, the right side provides the classic aerial panorama of Barcelona's urban layout. Be aware that midday flights on this side will face the southern sun, which may cause glare.

Amalfi Coast & Capri
Shortly after takeoff, look back to catch the rugged coastline of the Sorrento Peninsula and the silhouette of Capri.
North Sardinia
Glimpses of the Emerald Coast and the Maddalena Archipelago's turquoise waters as you cross the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Balearic Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean, which can be particularly striking during the 'golden hour'.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. During the final descent into BCN, this side offers great views of the Mediterranean cargo ships and the expansive port facilities just before touchdown.
