Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Mount Vesuvius

An unparalleled view of the famous volcano and the ruins of Pompeii shortly after departure.

🏛️

Rome & Lazio Coast

Visuals of the Tiber River and the sprawling metropolitan area of the Eternal City.

🏝️

Elba Island

The rugged coastline of the island where Napoleon was exiled, visible in the Ligurian Sea.

🏔️

Western Alps

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Maritime and Graian Alps along the Franco-Italian border.

🍇

Rhone Valley

The lush vineyards and industrial landscapes surrounding the city of Lyon and the Rhone river.

🏙️

Paris Approach

Views of the southern Parisian suburbs and the Seine as the aircraft descends into Orly.

The right side is essential for the Vesuvius flyby. In the afternoon, the sun will be on the left, making the right side perfect for photography of the Alps without window glare.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Gulf of Naples

Stunning views of the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida immediately after takeoff.

⛴️

Tyrrhenian Sea

Expansive views of the Mediterranean with occasional glimpses of the northern tip of Corsica.

🌋

Massif Central

Aerial perspective of the ancient volcanic peaks and rugged terrain of south-central France.

🏰

Loire Valley

Scenic views of the historic chateaux and winding rivers as you approach the Parisian basin.

Sit on the left for the best morning light when flying north, avoiding direct glare. This side is also better for spotting the Tuscan archipelago islands from a distance.
