Which side of the plane to sit from Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Palermo) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Tyrrhenian coastline, the volcanic Aeolian Islands, and a world-class view of Mount Vesuvius upon the approach into Naples.
Capo Gallo
Dramatic limestone cliffs and the nature reserve just north of Palermo's airport.
Aeolian Islands
Distant views of Alicudi and Filicudi, part of the UNESCO-listed volcanic archipelago.
Cilento Coast
The rugged, mountainous shoreline of southern Campania with crystal clear waters.
Capri & Sorrento
The iconic limestone island of Capri and the jagged cliffs of the Sorrento Peninsula.
Mount Vesuvius
An unparalleled view of the famous cone and crater of the volcano overlooking the bay.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Vesuvius. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the coast. Keep your camera ready as soon as the plane begins its descent over the Gulf of Salerno.
Tyrrhenian Expanse
Deep blue vistas of the open sea shortly after departing the Sicilian coast.
Ustica Island
A small, isolated volcanic island visible in the distance to the northwest of Palermo.
Naples City Center
Expansive views of the metropolitan sprawl and the busy Port of Naples during descent.
Phlegraean Fields
The complex volcanic area west of Naples, featuring numerous craters and thermal activity.
Choose the left side for sunset views over the Mediterranean during evening flights. It also provides a better angle of the Pozzuoli coastline if the aircraft performs a standard approach from the west.
