NAPTRN

Which side of the plane to sit from Naples International Airport (Naples) to Turin Airport (Torino)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer beautiful vistas, the Right Side is superior for catching a glimpse of Mount Vesuvius on departure and the dramatic, snow-capped skyline of the high Alps during the descent into Turin.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Mount Vesuvius

The iconic volcano provides a massive landmark to the east shortly after departure from NAP.

🏛️

Lazio & Rome

On clear days, you can spot the sprawling metropolitan area of Rome and the Tiber River winding through it.

🍇

Tuscan Hills

The rolling hills and agricultural patterns of the Val d'Orcia and central Tuscany are clearly visible from cruising altitude.

🏔️

The High Alps

Stunning views of the Monte Rosa massif and Gran Paradiso appear as the plane approaches the Piedmont region.

🚜

Po Valley

The geometric rice fields and flat plains leading into Turin offer a sharp contrast to the rugged mountains.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers. For the best photography of the Alps, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the peaks from the east. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight as the descent offers the most dramatic mountain panoramas.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Naples Bay

Aerial views of the city of Naples and the islands of Procida and Ischia immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Coastline

Continuous views of the rugged Italian west coast and the deep blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Look for the distinctive shapes of Elba and Giglio islands dotting the sea to the west.

⚓

Genoa and Liguria

As the plane turns inland, the port of Genoa and the narrow coastal strip of Liguria become visible.

Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the Mediterranean. This side is particularly scenic during the first 20 minutes of the flight as you climb away from the Neapolitan coast.
