Which side of the plane to sit from Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more diverse landscape, featuring the volcanic peaks of Campania, the central mountain ranges of Italy, and the iconic approach toward the snow-capped Alps near Milan.
Mount Vesuvius
A close-up view of the legendary volcano overlooking the city of Naples.
The Eternal City
Distant views of Rome and the Tiber river as the flight path crosses central Italy.
Central Apennines
The rugged, often snow-dusted spine of Italy stretching across the horizon.
Milan Skyline
The modern skyscrapers and the Duomo can be seen in the distance before turning for landing.
The Alps
Magnificent views of the Monte Rosa massif and the Italian Alps during the landing approach.
The right side is unbeatable for mountain lovers. For the best lighting on Mount Vesuvius and the Alps, book a morning flight. During winter, the contrast between the white peaks and the Po Valley is particularly striking.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Breathtaking views of the deep blue Mediterranean throughout the first half of the flight.
Islands of Naples
Bird's-eye views of Capri, Ischia, and Procida floating in the Gulf of Naples.
Tuscan Archipelago
The islands of Elba and Giglio are often visible as the plane heads north along the coast.
Ticino Park
Lush river landscapes and wetlands as the flight enters the final descent into Malpensa.
Choose the left side for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon. It offers a more serene and maritime atmosphere. On clear days, look far to the west to spot the silhouette of Corsica.
