NAP โ†’ NTE

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Naples cityscape upon departure, the rugged peaks of the Southern French Alps mid-flight, and the scenic volcanoes of the Auvergne region before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Naples Cityscape

An unparalleled view of the dense urban fabric of Naples, the historic center, and the Phlegraean Fields volcanic area immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Elba and the Tuscan Archipelago

Spot the island of Elba, famous for Napoleon's exile, nestled in the crystal-clear waters off the coast of Tuscany.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Southern French Alps

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Southern Alps as the flight traverses the border between the Mediterranean and inland France.

๐ŸŒ‹

Auvergne Volcanoes

Look for the unique 'Chaรฎne des Puys' and the iconic cone of Puy de Dรดme while flying over the Massif Central region.

๐Ÿฐ

Loire Valley Chateaux

As the descent into Nantes begins, keep an eye out for the historic vineyards and chateaux dotting the banks of the Loire River.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. For the best view of the French Alps, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the distinctive volcanic craters of the Massif Central.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
๐ŸŒ‹

Mount Vesuvius

Dominating the horizon shortly after takeoff, this iconic stratovolcano and the ruins of Pompeii are visible during the initial ascent.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Capri and Ischia

Spectacular views of the islands in the Bay of Naples and the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Sorrento Peninsula.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Corsica's Eastern Coast

If the flight path trends south, the mountainous silhouette and turquoise bays of eastern Corsica are clearly visible across the Tyrrhenian Sea.

๐ŸŒŠ

French Riviera

A stunning view of the Mediterranean coastline, including the cities of Nice and Cannes, as the plane enters French airspace.

๐Ÿšข

Loire Estuary

On final approach to Nantes, view the industrial beauty of Saint-Nazaire and the meeting of the Loire River with the Atlantic Ocean.

Sit on the left for early-morning departures to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side is also better for spotting the famous Mediterranean islands if the flight path remains coastal. Watch for the dramatic change from the deep blue Mediterranean to the lush green landscapes of central France.
