Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the left side offers a superior view of Venice upon departure, the right side is preferred for the iconic approach into Naples, featuring the Bay of Naples and a direct view of Mount Vesuvius.
Tuscan & Umbrian Hills
The rolling landscape of central Italy, dotted with vineyards and ancient hilltop towns.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep blue waters of the western Italian coast as the plane aligns for its final approach.
Mount Vesuvius
A breathtaking close-up of the world-famous volcano's crater during the descent into Naples.
Bay of Naples
A panoramic view of the coastline, including the harbor and the islands of Ischia and Procida in the distance.
Naples City Center
The dense, vibrant urban sprawl of one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited cities.
The right side is the 'money side' for the landing. Most flight paths loop over the sea or the northern suburbs, placing Vesuvius and the city center directly in your window. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the volcano view.
Venetian Lagoon
Immediate views of the historic center of Venice, the Giudecca Canal, and the Lido sandbar shortly after takeoff.
Adriatic Riviera
The sparkling coastline of the Adriatic Sea, including the resort towns of Rimini and Riccione.
Gran Sasso Massif
The highest peaks of the Apennine Mountains, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.
Tavoliere delle Puglie
The vast agricultural plains of Northern Puglia visible as the flight begins its westward turn toward Naples.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the historic 'fish-shaped' island of Venice during takeoff. Morning flights provide excellent illumination of the Adriatic coast without the glare of the sun.
