Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of Italy's volcanic landscape and the dramatic spine of the Apennine Mountains, including a prime view of Mount Vesuvius.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Pollino National Park

The massive limestone peaks marking the border between Calabria and Basilicata.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

A clear, iconic view of the volcano's crater and the surrounding Bay of Naples.

🏙️

Metropolitan Naples

The dense urban sprawl and historical center of Italy's third-largest city.

⛰️

Central Apennines

The 'Backbone of Italy,' featuring snow-capped peaks in winter and lush greenery in spring.

🏰

Emilian Foothills

Rolling hills and medieval castles as the aircraft descends into the Po Valley.

The right side is essential for seeing Mount Vesuvius, which usually appears about 20-25 minutes into the flight. Morning flights are ideal for this side to have the sun behind the aircraft, illuminating the mountain details perfectly.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Gulf of Sant'Eufemia

Direct views of the turquoise Calabrian waters immediately after takeoff from Lamezia.

🏖️

Cilento Coast

Rugged shorelines and hidden coves of the Campania region's southern coast.

🏝️

Phlegraean Islands

Distant silhouettes of Capri, Ischia, and Procida floating in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🌇

Tyrrhenian Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the sea, particularly stunning during evening 'Golden Hour' flights.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to enjoy the glow over the Mediterranean without the sun's direct glare. It is also the better side for viewing the Tuscan Archipelago if the flight path swings slightly westward.
