OLB → NAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this short hop, providing an immediate close-up of the majestic Tavolara Island after takeoff and a stunning panorama of the Gulf of Naples, including Ischia and Mount Vesuvius, during the descent.

Tavolara Island
A massive, rectangular limestone plateau rising 500 meters out of the sea right after takeoff.
Ischia and Procida
The colorful volcanic islands located at the western entrance of the Gulf of Naples.
Mount Vesuvius
Unrivaled views of the iconic sommo-stratovolcano as the plane banks toward the runway.
Naples City Center
The densely packed historic center and the 'Centro Direzionale' skyscrapers appearing just before landing.
Capri Island
Visible in the distance across the blue expanse of the Gulf as the plane maneuvers for its approach.
The right side is a must for photography. After takeoff from Olbia, be ready immediately for Tavolara. For the approach into Naples, afternoon flights provide the best 'golden hour' lighting on Vesuvius and the city's pastel buildings.

Gulf of Olbia
Panoramic views of the industrial port and the northern jagged coastline of the Costa Smeralda.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep blue waters dominate the mid-flight as you cross from Sardinia to the Italian mainland.
Pontine Islands
On clear days, the volcanic silhouettes of Ponza and Ventotene can be spotted to the north.
Litorale Domizio
The long, sandy coastline north of Naples visible as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better if the flight path takes a more northerly route, occasionally offering a glimpse of the southern tip of Corsica during the initial climb.
