NAPLUX

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unbeatable perspective of Mount Vesuvius upon departure and a more direct view of the jagged central Alpine peaks and the Black Forest region.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Mount Vesuvius

An incredible close-up view of the volcano's crater and the ruins of Pompeii immediately after departure from NAP.

🏔️

The Apennines

The rugged limestone 'spine' of Italy stretches beneath the plane during the initial cruise phase.

🏘️

Florence and Tuscany

Spot the terracotta roofs of Florence and the Duomo's dome nestled among the rolling Tuscan hills.

❄️

Swiss Alps

A breathtaking traverse over the heart of the Alps, featuring massive glaciers and snow-capped 4,000-meter peaks.

🌲

The Black Forest

Dense, dark green woodland and deep valleys as the flight enters German/French border airspace.

The right side is the 'volcano side.' Ensure your window is clean for takeoff to capture Vesuvius. During the mid-flight Alpine crossing, keep your camera ready for the high-contrast glacial landscapes. Seasonal tip: Winter flights offer the most dramatic Alpine scenery due to heavy snow cover, while summer sunsets are best viewed from the left.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Bay of Naples

Stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline and the islands of Ischia and Procida shortly after takeoff.

🏛️

Rome and the Vatican

On clear days, the urban sprawl of the Eternal City and the dome of St. Peter's Basilica are visible to the west.

💧

Lake Trasimeno

One of Italy's largest lakes, located in the heart of Umbria, surrounded by historic towns.

🏔️

Mont Blanc Range

As you cross the Alps, the highest peaks of Europe are visible on the far western horizon.

⛰️

Vosges Mountains

The rounded, forested peaks of eastern France provide a scenic backdrop during the descent phase.

Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind the aircraft. Look out for the shimmer of the Tyrrhenian Sea during the first 20 minutes of flight. If the approach into Luxembourg is from the north, the left side often sees the city's unique valley topography and historic fortifications.
