NAP → LIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Naples International Airport (Naples) to Milano Linate Airport (Milan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the Tyrrhenian coastline, including the islands of the Bay of Naples, the Roman coast, and the dramatic transition from the Ligurian Sea into the Po Valley.

Bay of Naples & Islands
Spectacular views of Ischia, Procida, and the Phlegraean Fields shortly after takeoff from NAP.
Rome and the Tiber
As you head north, the mouth of the Tiber River and the sprawling outskirts of Rome are visible along the coastline.
Tuscan Archipelago
On clear days, you can spot the island of Elba and the smaller gems of the Tuscan sea to the west.
Cinque Terre & Liguria
Before turning inland, catch glimpses of the rugged Ligurian coastline and the famous colorful villages.
Milan Skyline
During the descent into Linate, the skyscrapers of the CityLife and Porta Nuova districts often appear on the left.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best coastal perspective. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is behind the plane, perfectly illuminating the coastline and the blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the plane often turns over the sea.

Mount Vesuvius
Depending on the takeoff direction, get a direct look into the massive crater of Italy's most famous volcano.
Central Apennines
Follow the 'spine of Italy' with views of the rugged mountain peaks stretching through Molise, Lazio, and Umbria.
Lake Trasimeno
The large, shallow lake in Umbria is easily identifiable by its distinct shape amidst the green hills.
Po Valley Agriculture
The geometric patchwork of Italy's most fertile plains creates a stunning tapestry during the final descent.
Choose an 'F' seat to focus on the inland geography. This side is particularly beautiful in winter when the Apennine peaks are covered in snow. Afternoon flights are better on this side to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the sea.
