TRS → NAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Istrian coast after takeoff and the most iconic view of Mount Vesuvius during the approach into Naples.
Istrian Peninsula
Shortly after takeoff from TRS, view the rugged coastline and turquoise waters of Slovenia and Croatia to the east.
Adriatic Expanse
Deep blue views of the central Adriatic Sea as the flight heads south towards the Italian peninsula.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
Spot the highest peaks of the Apennines, including Corno Grande, towering over the Abruzzo region.
Mount Vesuvius
An unbeatable view of the volcano's crater as the aircraft descends and maneuvers for landing at NAP.
Sorrento Coast
Distant views of the rocky cliffs leading towards the Amalfi Coast during the final approach pattern.
Book a seat on the left (port) side for the 'Vesuvius show.' For the best lighting on the volcano, choose a morning flight. Avoid seats directly over the wing (usually rows 10-20) to ensure the crater is fully visible during the final banking turns.
Grado and Marano Lagoons
Immediate views of the intricate wetland systems and sandbars just south of the airport.
Italian Riviera Adriatica
Look down upon the famous seaside resorts of Rimini, Riccione, and the Monte San Bartolo cliffs.
Apennine Mountains
Cross over the 'backbone' of Italy, featuring rolling green hills and high limestone ridges.
Royal Palace of Caserta
Identify the massive rectangular 'Versailles of Italy' and its long formal gardens just before touchdown.
Naples Cityscape
A dense urban view of the historic center and the port area during the final seconds of flight.
The right (starboard) side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun will be behind you or to the side, beautifully illuminating the Apennine peaks and the city of Naples without glare. Keep a keen eye out for the Palace of Caserta, which is a massive landmark easy to spot from the air.
