Search flights from NAP to NCE
Mount Vesuvius
A dramatic view of the crater and the ruins of Pompeii immediately after takeoff from Naples.
Rome Coastline
Distant views of the Eternal City's coast, including the mouth of the Tiber River.
Tuscan Archipelago
Clear sightings of the islands of Elba, Giglio, and Montecristo dotting the sea below.
Maritime Alps
Snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps where the mountains meet the Mediterranean.
Monaco and Menton
The high-rise skyline of Monte Carlo and the colorful town of Menton during the descent into Nice.
The right side is essential for this route. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure Mount Vesuvius isn't blocked during the initial climb. For the approach into Nice (usually Runway 04R/22L), the right side provides a world-class view of the Promenade des Anglais and the surrounding hills.

Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean waters for the majority of the cruise phase.
Cap Corse
The northernmost finger of Corsica often visible on the southern horizon mid-flight.
Mediterranean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the horizon, particularly stunning during late afternoon golden hour flights.
NCE Final Approach
A smooth overwater approach providing a sense of landing directly on the sea surface.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. While more scenic views are on the right, the left side offers a more tranquil experience with fewer obstructions and better views of the open sea and distant Corsican peaks.
