Our Recommendation
9.2

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.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Central Swiss Alps

Breathtaking views of the highest glaciated peaks in Europe, including the Bernese Oberland massifs.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Italian Lake District

Look down to see the deep blue, Y-shaped waters of Lake Como and the surrounding villas.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Tuscan Archipelago

The island of Elba and the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea provide a beautiful coastal backdrop.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Rome and the Tiber

On clear days, the sprawl of the Eternal City and the winding Tiber River are visible to the west.

๐ŸŒŠ

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Constance

Visible shortly after takeoff, this massive lake marks the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Eastern Alps

Dramatic views of the snow-capped Graubรผnden peaks and the distant jagged edges of the Dolomites.

๐Ÿท

Tuscan Countryside

The rolling hills and vineyards of central Italy are clearly visible during the mid-flight cruise.

๐ŸŒ‹

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.
