Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for Italy's active volcanoes, the stunning Amalfi coast, and the jagged limestone peaks of the Central Alps.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌋

Aeolian Islands

Bird's-eye view of the volcanic cones of Stromboli and Vulcano shortly after takeoff.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

The massive crater of the world-famous volcano overlooking the Bay of Naples.

🏛️

Metropolitan Rome

The sprawling layout of the Eternal City and the Tiber River leading to the coast.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys as you cross the heart of the Alps.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

The impressive 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers often visible on the final approach to FRA.

The right side is the 'volcano side.' Look out about 15-20 minutes after departure for the Aeolian islands. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the Alps, making the snow-capped peaks glow during winter months.

Left Side Highlights
8.1
🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Crystal clear turquoise waters immediately after departing Sicily's northern coast.

🏝️

Elba Island

Clear views of the largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago and its rugged coastline.

🏔️

Western Alps

Panoramic views of the high glaciers near the French and Italian border crossing.

🌲

Black Forest

Dense, dark evergreen canopies visible as the flight enters Southern Germany.

🏰

Rhine Valley

Terraced vineyards and historic fortresses along the river during the descent.

Best for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side offers better views of the Tuscan islands and the gradual transition from the Mediterranean to the European continent.
