NAP → HAJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Naples International Airport (Naples) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Mount Vesuvius shortly after takeoff from Naples, followed by a spectacular panorama of the Central Alps and the highest peaks of the Bavarian range.
Mount Vesuvius
An unparalleled view of the crater and the Pompeii ruins immediately after the initial climb.
Apennine Backbone
The rugged limestone peaks of the central Italian mountain range stretching toward the Adriatic.
Zugspitze & Tyrolean Alps
Direct views of Germany's highest peak and the dramatic rock formations of the Dolomites and Tyrol.
Munich & Bavaria
The sprawling Bavarian capital and the perfectly gridded agricultural lands of Southern Germany.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost range of Germany, signaling the final approach into the Lower Saxony region.
The right side is essential for seeing Vesuvius upon departure; ensure your window is clear as this happens quickly. For the Alps, morning flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side. During the winter, the snow-covered Tyrolean peaks are exceptionally vivid from this perspective.
Metropolitan Rome
Panoramic views of the capital city and the Vatican, visible about 15-20 minutes after departure.
Tuscan Landscapes
Rolling hills and vineyards of central Italy, including the vicinity of Florence and the Arno River.
Western Alpine Arc
Glaciated peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps, often featuring views of deep glacial valleys.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen canopies of southwestern Germany visible as the flight enters German airspace.
Kassel & Central Germany
The varied terrain of the Hessian Highlands as the aircraft begins its descent towards Hannover.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of the Italian west coast and the metropolitan sprawl of Rome. During late afternoon flights, this side offers a dramatic sunset view over the mountains, though glare can be an issue. Watch for the distinct shape of Lake Trasimeno as you cross central Italy.
