Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
๐ŸŒŠ

Ligurian Sea

Vibrant blue waters stretching toward the horizon as the flight meets the Italian coastline.

โ›ฑ๏ธ

Italian Riviera

The dramatic cliffside landscapes of the Cinque Terre and the Gulf of La Spezia.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Elba & Tuscan Islands

Spot the island of Elba, famous for Napoleon's exile, nestled in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

The Roman Coast

Aerial perspective of the coastline near Rome, often including the mouth of the Tiber River.

๐ŸŒ‹

Mount Vesuvius

An unmatched view of the massive crater of Italy's most famous volcano during the landing sequence.

๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ

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.

Catch glimpses of the historic estates and the winding Loire River shortly after takeoff from Nantes.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

French & Swiss Alps

Fly over the majestic snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the alpine range during the mid-flight transit.

The Apennines

๐Ÿž๏ธ

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.
