NAP โ LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Naples International Airport (Naples) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior combination of the Tyrrhenian coastline, the highest peaks of the Western Alps, and a spectacular view of the Liverpool skyline and Mersey Estuary during the final descent.
Tyrrhenian Coastline
Stunning views of the Italian coast, including the Gulf of Gaeta and the islands of Ischia and Procida shortly after takeoff.
Rome and the Vatican
Clear views of the Tiber River and the urban sprawl of the Eternal City as the flight heads northwest.
The Western Alps
Breath-taking vistas of the French and Swiss Alps, often including glimpses of Mont Blanc depending on the specific air corridor.
Paris Suburbs
As you traverse France, the dense urban landscape of the รle-de-France region is often visible to the west.
Normandy Coast
The dramatic coastline of northern France and the crossing of the English Channel toward the UK.
Liverpool Waterfront
During the final approach into LPL, this side typically faces the Royal Liver Building and the famous city docks.
For evening flights, the left side offers beautiful sunset views over the Atlantic and Channel. Look out for the Alps approximately 50-60 minutes after departure. On approach to Liverpool, stay alert as the plane banks over the Mersey for the best views of the city center.
Mount Vesuvius
Depending on the departure runway, you may get a direct view of the iconic volcano looming over the Bay of Naples.
Tuscan Heartland
The rolling hills and vineyards of central Italy, with Florence occasionally visible in the distance.
Central Swiss Alps
Deep glacial valleys and high-altitude lakes of the central Alpine range near the Swiss-Italian border.
French Countryside
A patchwork of rural landscapes and historic chateaux through the Burgundy and Champagne regions.
The Midlands
Views of the English heartland and the industrial heritage of cities like Birmingham as you head north.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the interior Italian landscape and the ruggedness of the central Alps. It is also the best side for spotting the English Peak District if the route takes a more easterly path into Liverpool.
