Which side of the plane to sit from Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
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.
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.
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.
