STR โ NAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Alpine views, the right side is superior for the descent into Naples, providing a panoramic vista of the Bay of Naples, the islands of Ischia and Procida, and the colorful city coastline.
Central Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of the highest glaciated peaks in Europe, including the Bernese Oberland massifs.
Italian Lake District
Look down to see the deep blue, Y-shaped waters of Lake Como and the surrounding villas.
Tuscan Archipelago
The island of Elba and the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea provide a beautiful coastal backdrop.
Rome and the Tiber
On clear days, the sprawl of the Eternal City and the winding Tiber River are visible to the west.
Bay of Naples
A world-class approach view featuring the islands of Ischia and Procida before the city harbor appears.
The right side is the 'scenic winner' for the arrival phase. As the plane descends over the Tyrrhenian Sea, you get an unmatched view of the Phlegraean Fields and the entire Neapolitan coastline. For winter flights, the midday sun can be bright, so bring sunglasses for the Alpine crossing.
Lake Constance
Visible shortly after takeoff, this massive lake marks the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Eastern Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Graubรผnden peaks and the distant jagged edges of the Dolomites.
Tuscan Countryside
The rolling hills and vineyards of central Italy are clearly visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Mount Vesuvius
A spectacular close-up of the crater as the plane maneuvers for its final approach into Naples.
Choose the left side for a direct look into the crater of Mount Vesuvius during the final descent. On morning flights, this side remains in the shadow of the plane, which is ideal for capturing clear, glare-free photos of the Alpine peaks.
