NAP β GVA
Which side of the plane to sit from Naples International Airport (Naples) to Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unbeatable sequence starting with the volcanic silhouette of Vesuvius, followed by the diverse Italian coastline, and culminating in a world-class descent over Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps.
Mount Vesuvius
A spectacular aerial perspective of the crater and the city of Naples immediately after takeoff.
Lazio Coastline
Detailed views of the Italian coast near Rome, including the Tiber River delta and the Tyrrhenian beaches.
Tuscan Archipelago
Clear views of Elba and smaller islands scattered off the coast of Tuscany.
Genoa and Liguria
The dramatic intersection of the Apennine Mountains and the Mediterranean at the port of Genoa.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps often dominates the horizon to the east as you cross the mountain range.
Lake Geneva
An iconic approach providing a full panorama of Lac LΓ©man and the Jet d'Eau just before touchdown.
Book a window seat on the right for the most iconic landmarks. During winter, the Alpine crossing is breathtaking; aim for a midday flight to see the glaciers in full detail. For the best view of the Jet d'Eau fountain on approach, stay alert during the final ten minutes of flight.
Tyrrhenian Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Mediterranean waters shortly after departure.
Corsican Silhouette
On clear days, the rugged, mountainous profile of northern Corsica is visible on the western horizon.
Lake Annecy
A stunning view of the cleanest lake in Europe and its surrounding peaks during the descent into Geneva.
Western Alps
Dense clusters of snow-capped peaks as the flight path transitions from the Mediterranean toward Switzerland.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. While scenic, the views are generally more maritime until the final approach, making it ideal for those who prefer sea horizons.
