Which side of the plane to sit from Naples International Airport (Naples) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more direct view of the high peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner, and usually offers a better angle for the Naples city skyline and Vesuvius upon departure.
Search flights from NAP to VIE
Mount Vesuvius
An immediate view of the world's most famous volcano and the ruins of Pompeii shortly after takeoff.
Central Apennines
Dramatic views of the rugged spine of Italy as the plane heads north toward the Adriatic.
Hohe Tauern Range
Stunning views of the Austrian Alps' highest peaks, including the snow-capped Grossglockner massif.
The Vienna Woods
The lush green biosphere reserve that marks the transition from the Alps to the Danube Basin.
Vienna Cityscape
Depending on the approach pattern, a panoramic view of the historic center and St. Stephen's Cathedral.
Book an 'A' seat for the best perspective. Early morning flights are ideal on this side to keep the sun behind you while viewing the Italian coast. During the winter, the snow coverage on the Hohe Tauern is spectacular, so have your camera ready approximately 50 minutes after departure.

Adriatic Coast
Views of the sparkling blue waters and the long stretches of beaches near Rimini and Ravenna.
Julian Alps
The sharp, jagged limestone peaks marking the border between Italy, Slovenia, and Austria.
Graz and Styria
Aerial views of the 'Green Heart of Austria' with its rolling hills and red-roofed villages.
Lake Neusiedl
The vast, shallow steppe lake on the border with Hungary, often shimmering in the sunlight.
Danube River
The iconic waterway visible as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach into Schwechat.
Select an 'F' seat to avoid the morning sun glare. This side is particularly beautiful during sunset flights when the Adriatic coast and Lake Neusiedl reflect the golden hour colors. Watch for the sharp contrast between the jagged Alps and the flat Pannonian Basin near the end of the flight.
