Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the Rhine Valley, a direct view of the Eastern Swiss Alps, and a spectacular fly-by of Mount Vesuvius and the rugged Apennine mountain range before landing.
Rhine Valley Panorama
Aerial views of the winding Rhine River and its historic castles shortly after departure from Weeze.
Central & Eastern Alps
A breathtaking crossing of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian alpine peaks mid-flight.
Mount Vesuvius
An iconic view of the world-famous volcanic crater as the flight tracks south toward Calabria.
The Apennines
The dramatic 'spine' of Italy, featuring deep valleys and rugged limestone peaks throughout the Italian leg.
Sunrise/Morning Light
Ideal lighting conditions for photography on morning flights heading south-southeast.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On clear days, keep your camera ready about 70-80 minutes into the flight for the best Alpine shots, and watch for Vesuvius approximately 15-20 minutes before landing.
Northern Italian Lakes
Distant views of Lake Como and Lake Maggiore as you transition from the Alps into Italy.
Rome & The Tiber
The sprawling Eternal City and the Mediterranean coast are often visible to the west.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast turquoise waters and the dramatic coastline of the Italian peninsula.
Stromboli & Aeolians
On clear days during the descent, you may spot the active volcano of Stromboli rising from the sea to the southwest.
The right side is perfect for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a more coastal perspective, so watch for the island of Elba and the volcanic Aeolian islands during the final descent phase into SUF.
