SUFTRN

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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the Italian peninsula's coastline, including the Amalfi Coast, Mount Vesuvius, and the rolling landscapes of Tuscany.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

Calabrian Coastline

Immediate views of the 'Coast of the Gods' and the turquoise waters near Tropea right after departure from Lamezia.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

A spectacular vantage point of the famous volcano and the sprawling city of Naples roughly 25 minutes into the flight.

🏛️

Rome and the Latium Coast

Spot the Tiber River snaking toward the sea and the distant urban sprawl of the Eternal City.

🍷

Tuscan Maremma

The landscape shifts to the characteristic rolling hills and vineyards of southern Tuscany as you fly north.

🏙️

Turin Cityscape

On the final descent, enjoy views of the Po River and the Mole Antonelliana spire standing out against the city grid.

Sit on the right side for the best 'sightseeing' experience of Italian landmarks. For the best photos of Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast, a morning flight is recommended to have the sun behind you. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to capture the full curve of the Italian shoreline.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌋

Aeolian Islands

Distant but clear views of Stromboli and the volcanic archipelago rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Pontine Archipelago

The islands of Ponza and Ventotene appear as jagged jewels in the deep blue sea during the mid-flight segment.

🏔️

Monviso Peak

The iconic pyramid-shaped mountain of the Western Alps becomes visible as the plane begins its descent into the Piedmont region.

🌊

Gulf of Genoa

Expansive views of the Ligurian Sea and the dramatic curve of the northern Italian coastline as the flight turns inland.

The left side is superior for evening flights as you can watch the sun set over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Keep an eye out for the silhouette of Corsica on exceptionally clear days. During the final approach into TRN, this side offers the most dramatic views of the high Alpine peaks to the west.
