Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the iconic Italian coastline, including the city of Rome, the dramatic Bay of Naples with Mount Vesuvius, and the volcanic islands of the Tyrrhenian Sea during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Paris Outskirts

On clear days, the distant sprawl of the French capital is often visible to the west.

🏖️

Ligurian Coast

Beautiful views of the Gulf of Genoa and the beginning of the Italian Riviera.

🏟️

Rome & The Tiber

The Eternal City and its historic layout are often clearly visible as you fly south.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

A perfect view of the famous volcano and the sprawling Bay of Naples.

🏝️

Aeolian Islands

Stromboli and its volcanic plume can often be spotted on the horizon during the final approach.

This is the 'coastal' side. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the Italian coast and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best views of the Calabrian shoreline.

🌊

English Channel

Aerial views of the busy shipping lanes and the French coastline near Dieppe.

🏔️

Swiss & Italian Alps

Glacial peaks and high-altitude lakes as the flight crosses from France into Italy.

🏘️

Po Valley

The sprawling industrial and agricultural heartland of Northern Italy, including the outskirts of Milan.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged limestone 'spine' of Italy stretching down the center of the peninsula.

Look out during the first hour for the transition from flat French plains to the jagged Swiss Alps. Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sunlight and see the mountain shadows clearly.
