The right side offers the most iconic landmarks, starting with a direct view of Mount Vesuvius upon departure and ending with the historic peaks of the Central Alps and the Champagne region of France.
Search flights from NAP to CDG
Mount Vesuvius
An unparalleled view of the crater and the surrounding ruins of Pompeii immediately after departure from Naples.
Rome and the Apennines
The sprawling 'Eternal City' and the rugged spine of the Italian mountain range visible to the east.
The High Alps
Spectacular views of the Matterhorn and the Monte Rosa massif during the crossing into Switzerland and France.
Champagne Region
The rolling hills and historic cathedrals of Reims and the surrounding vineyard-covered countryside.
Sit on the right for the absolute best view of Vesuvius; sit in a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed photos. The right side is particularly scenic during mid-day flights when the sun is to the south, perfectly illuminating the snow-capped Alpine peaks. Keep an eye out for the city of Florence roughly 25 minutes into the flight.
Book Hotels in Paris
Islands of Ischia and Procida
Aerial views of the vibrant volcanic islands in the Gulf of Naples shortly after takeoff.
Tyrrhenian Coastline
Dramatic views of the Italian coast passing by the Maremma region and the island of Elba.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe often appears on the left as the flight crosses the French-Italian border.
Burgundy Vineyards
The distinct geometric patterns of the famous French wine regions as you head towards Paris.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and harsh glare. This side is better for spotting the French Alps' glaciers and the turquoise waters of the Tuscan Archipelago. During the final approach into CDG, if the plane lands from the east, you might catch a distant glimpse of the Paris skyline.
