NTE โ NAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Nantes Atlantique Airport (Nantes) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an incredible sequence of coastal views, from the Italian Riviera and Tuscan islands to a breathtaking final approach past Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples.
Ligurian Sea
Vibrant blue waters stretching toward the horizon as the flight meets the Italian coastline.
Italian Riviera
The dramatic cliffside landscapes of the Cinque Terre and the Gulf of La Spezia.
Elba & Tuscan Islands
Spot the island of Elba, famous for Napoleon's exile, nestled in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The Roman Coast
Aerial perspective of the coastline near Rome, often including the mouth of the Tiber River.
Mount Vesuvius
An unmatched view of the massive crater of Italy's most famous volcano during the landing sequence.
Bay of Naples
The stunning panorama of the harbor, with Ischia and Procida islands visible in the distance.
The right side is the best choice for this route. For evening flights, you will enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean. During the descent into Naples, the plane often maneuvers to give this side a direct view of Mount Vesuvius and the city waterfront. Ensure your camera is ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best coastal shots.
Loire Chรขteaux
Catch glimpses of the historic estates and the winding Loire River shortly after takeoff from Nantes.
French & Swiss Alps
Fly over the majestic snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the alpine range during the mid-flight transit.
The Apennines
Observe the rugged mountain spine of Italy as you descend toward the Campania region.
Agricultural Po Valley
View the intricate geometric patterns of northern Italy's fertile plains and river systems.
Choose the left side for optimal mountain photography. In the morning, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, glare-free views of the Alps. This side is better if you prefer inland scenery and mountain ranges over sea views.
