Which side of the plane to sit from Naples International Airport (Naples) to Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an incredible perspective of the Tyrrhenian coastline upon departure and a spectacular view of the Venetian Lagoon and the northern Adriatic coast during the descent.
Gulf of Naples & Islands
Aerial views of Ischia and Procida shortly after takeoff, with the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea.
Roman Coastline
Distant views of the Latium coast and the mouth of the Tiber River as the flight tracks north.
Lake Trasimeno
The largest lake in central Italy, located in Umbria, is often visible mid-flight.
Venice and the Lagoon
A world-class view of the historic city of Venice, its canals, and the surrounding lagoon during the descent.
Northern Adriatic Beaches
The sandy stretches of Jesolo, Caorle, and Lignano Sabbiadoro as the plane lines up for TRS.
Sit on the left for a sunset flight to catch the golden hour over the Tyrrhenian and later the Venetian Lagoon. On departure, if the plane takes off towards the south and turns, you will get a panoramic view of the entire city of Naples. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the unique grid-like patterns of the Venetian islands.
Mount Vesuvius
The iconic volcano looming over Naples is best viewed immediately after takeoff from the right side.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peak of the Apennines, often snow-capped, provides a rugged mountain backdrop mid-flight.
Adriatic Horizon
Vast views of the Adriatic Sea as the flight crosses from Central to Northern Italy.
Miramare Castle
Visible on the rocky coastline near Trieste during the final approach into Ronchi dei Legionari.
Julian Alps
The majestic peaks marking the border with Slovenia and Austria visible to the northeast.
The right side is superior for mountain enthusiasts. For early morning flights, the sun will be on this side, which can cause glare; however, the morning light hitting the Apennines is breathtaking. On the final approach, look closely for the white silhouette of Miramare Castle perched right on the sea.
