SUF → LIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia) to Milano Linate Airport (Milan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Tyrrhenian coastline, the volcanic Aeolian Islands, and the stunning islands of the Gulf of Naples and the Tuscan Archipelago.
Aeolian Islands
On clear days, the volcanic cone of Stromboli is visible rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea shortly after takeoff.
Capri and Ischia
Aerial views of the iconic islands at the edge of the Gulf of Naples as the plane heads north.
Pontine Islands
The rugged coastlines of Ponza and Ventotene appear as small gems in the deep blue sea.
Tuscan Archipelago
Excellent views of Elba Island and the Argentario Peninsula along the coast of Tuscany.
Milan Cityscape
During the final approach into Linate, the left side often captures the modern skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova district.
Book a window seat on the left (A) for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the best shots of the Neapolitan islands. During winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of the distant Corsican mountains across the sea.
Pollino National Park
The rugged, wild peaks of the Southern Apennines provide a dramatic backdrop shortly after departure.
Mount Vesuvius
A powerful view of the crater of the famous volcano overlooking the densely populated Naples area.
Rome Metropolitan Area
As the flight tracks north, the sprawling suburban landscape of the Eternal City is visible to the east.
Tuscan Hills
The beautiful rolling landscape of the Val d'Orcia and the Chianti region stretches toward the horizon.
Northern Apennines
The final mountain crossing before descending into the flat, fertile expanse of the Po Valley.
The right side (F) is ideal for sunset flights, as the landscape is bathed in golden light. This side provides a better view of the inland mountain ranges and the central Italian countryside. Watch for the sudden transition from the mountains to the flat plains of Lombardy in the final 15 minutes of flight.
