Which side of the plane to sit from Naples International Airport (Naples) to Verona Villafranca Airport (Villafranca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unbeatable perspective of Mount Vesuvius immediately after takeoff and a continuous view of the rugged Apennine mountain range throughout the journey north.
Mount Vesuvius
A close-up view of the famous crater and the ruins of Pompeii shortly after departing from Naples.
Central Apennines
The dramatic 'spine' of Italy, featuring peaks like Gran Sasso, visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Florence & Bologna
As you head north, the distinctive urban layouts of these historic cities can be seen nestled at the foot of the mountains.
The Alps
A breathtaking horizon of snow-capped peaks emerges over the Po Valley as you approach the Veneto region.
Select a window seat on the right to guarantee a view of Vesuvius. This side is superior for mountain lovers, as it follows the Apennines. Afternoon flights are ideal for the right side to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the golden hour over the mountains.
Gulf of Naples
Aerial views of the Phlegraean Fields and the islands of Ischia and Procida during the initial climb.
Roman Coastline
Sightings of the Tyrrhenian coast near Ostia and the suburban sprawl of Rome to the east.
Lake Trasimeno
The largest lake in central Italy, located in Umbria, visible as the plane enters Tuscany.
Lake Garda
On the final approach to Verona, the southern shores of Garda and the Sirmione peninsula often appear.
Sit on the left for coastal views and potential sightings of Lake Garda on descent. Morning flights provide the best lighting as the sun is in the east, illuminating the coastline and the Tuscan hills without glare.
