SUFNRN

Which side of the plane to sit from Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an exceptional perspective of the Italian coastline, the Tuscan islands, and a more dramatic crossing of the high Swiss Alps, followed by the winding Rhine River.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Tyrrhenian Coastline

Rugged cliffs and crystal-clear waters along the Calabrian and Campanian coast shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Excellent views of Elba, Giglio, and Montecristo islands floating in the Mediterranean.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Dramatic views of high-altitude glaciers and famous peaks like the Jungfrau and Eiger massifs.

🚤

Lake Maggiore

A stunning view of the long, narrow alpine lake straddling the border of Italy and Switzerland.

🏰

The Middle Rhine

As you approach Germany, view the scenic river valley dotted with castles and vineyards.

For the most scenic experience, book a window seat on the left. During mid-day flights, the sun will be behind the plane or to the right, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps. Look out for the distinct shape of Elba island about 40 minutes into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌋

Mount Vesuvius

An iconic view of the world-famous volcano and the sprawling Bay of Naples.

🏛️

Florence & Tuscany

The terracotta rooftops of Florence and the rolling vineyards of the Chianti region.

🌾

Po Valley

The vast, geometric agricultural patterns of Italy's most fertile northern plains.

🏔️

Bernina Range

Snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Alps and the deep valleys of the Engadin region.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of Germany's financial hub may be visible to the east.

The right side is the best choice for seeing the volcanic landscapes of Southern Italy. If flying in the early morning, the sun will rise on this side, which can create high-contrast silhouettes but might make viewing difficult due to glare. Watch for the transition from the flat Po Valley to the vertical walls of the Alps.
