Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular journey along the Tyrrhenian coastline, featuring the Italian Riviera, the Tuscan Archipelago, and a breathtaking aerial approach over the islands of the Gulf of Naples.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Ligurian Sea

Glimpses of the Italian Riviera and the bustling port of Genoa as the aircraft reaches the coast.

🏝️

Island of Elba

Clear views of the largest island in the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for Napoleon's exile.

🏛️

Rome's Coastline

Views of the Fiumicino area and the mouth of the Tiber River as you bypass the capital to the west.

🚤

Pontine Islands

The volcanic islands of Ponza and Ventotene appear as bright jewels in the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea.

🌅

Ischia and Procida

Stunning low-altitude views of these vibrant islands during the descent into the Gulf of Naples.

The right side is the 'Scenic Coast' side. For the most dramatic arrival, sit here to see the islands of Ischia and Procida. Choose a morning flight to avoid the direct glare and reflection of the sun off the water, which can be intense in the late afternoon.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Torino Cityscape

Aerial views of the Mole Antonelliana and the geometric grid of Turin shortly after takeoff from TRN.

⛰️

Northern Apennines

Crossing the rugged mountain range that separates the Po Valley from the Mediterranean coast.

🍷

Tuscan Hills

The rolling vineyards and historic estates of the Chianti region visible during the mid-flight cruise.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

The imposing silhouette of the volcano dominates the left side as the plane maneuvers for its final approach into Naples.

Sit on the left for the best views of the inland geography and the iconic silhouette of Vesuvius on arrival. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography as the sun moves westward, illuminating the Apennine peaks and the Neapolitan cityscape.
