Which side of the plane to sit from Naples International Airport (Naples) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to Mount Vesuvius shortly after takeoff, followed by a spectacular traverse over the rugged Apennines and the dramatic limestone spires of the Dolomites.
Search flights from NAP to STR
Mount Vesuvius
Look down into the massive crater of Europe's most famous volcano and the ruins of Pompeii.
Central Apennines
The rugged limestone spine of Italy features dramatic ridges and deep valleys.
Lake Garda
The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake are often visible as you approach the Alps.
The Dolomites
A breathtaking crossing of the jagged, pale-colored peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Swabian Jura
The high plateau of Southern Germany, dotted with historic castles and white limestone cliffs.
The right side is essential for the Vesuvius flyby within the first 5-10 minutes of flight. For the best photography of the Alps, mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun will be positioned to highlight the mountain textures without causing direct glare. Watch for the dramatic change from the flat Po Valley to the vertical walls of the Dolomites roughly halfway through the flight.

Eternal City - Rome
Catch a glimpse of the sprawling urban layout of Rome and the winding Tiber River.
Tuscan Landscapes
Aerial views of the iconic rolling hills, vineyards, and medieval towns of the Tuscany region.
Bernese Alps
As you head north, the high peaks of the Swiss Alps provide a jagged, snow-capped horizon.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen canopies of the Schwarzwald signal your arrival into Southwestern Germany.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and better views of the Italian west coast. Look out roughly 20-30 minutes after takeoff to spot the outskirts of Rome. During the descent into Stuttgart, the left side often provides a clearer view of the Black Forest foothills.
