Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a front-row seat to Mount Vesuvius upon departure and the stunning High Tatra mountains during the final approach phase.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Mount Vesuvius

The most famous volcano in Europe, clearly visible to the east shortly after takeoff from Naples.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

Views of the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of the Italian east coast near Rimini.

🏔️

Julian Alps

The dramatic limestone faces of the Slovenian and Italian Alps standing out against the horizon.

🏰

Bratislava

The capital of Slovakia, situated at the crossroads of the Danube and the Carpathian Mountains.

⛰️

High Tatra Mountains

Majestic, alpine-style peaks on the border of Slovakia and Poland, visible during the descent.

The right side is the scenic winner. Ensure you have your camera ready within the first 5 minutes for Vesuvius. For the High Tatras, look out about 15-20 minutes before landing in Katowice. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Adriatic coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏘️

Naples Cityscape

Panoramic views of the dense historic center and the port of Naples during climb-out.

🏛️

Central Apennines

The rugged backbone of Italy, featuring rolling hills and ancient mountain villages.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

Depending on the flight path, the distinctive shape of Venice and its islands may be visible to the west.

🏔️

Hohe Tauern

Deep views into the heart of the Austrian Alps, including glaciated peaks like Grossglockner.

🎡

Vienna

The sprawling Austrian capital and the winding blue ribbon of the Danube River.

Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Italian peninsula. Keep a close watch roughly 40 minutes into the flight for the transition from the Mediterranean landscape to the snow-capped Alps.
