Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the high Alps, including the jagged Dolomites, followed by a stunning coastal approach over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the islands of the Gulf of Naples.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏞️

Salzkammergut

Beautiful views of the alpine lake district south of the Danube shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

High Tauern

Glaciated peaks of the Austrian Central Alps, including views towards the Grossglockner.

⛰️

The Dolomites

The distinct, jagged limestone spires of northern Italy offer some of the best mountain scenery in Europe.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Coast

The flight crosses the Italian coast near Gaeta, offering views of pristine beaches and clear water.

🏝️

Ischia & Procida

Stunning aerial views of the volcanic islands in the Bay of Naples during the final turn to land.

The right side is preferred for mountain enthusiasts, offering views of the highest Alpine peaks. For the best photography, an afternoon flight provides dramatic lighting over the Dolomites and the Tyrrhenian coastline. Sit well ahead of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the islands.

🏔️

Styrian Alps

Rugged peaks of the Austrian interior shortly after departing Vienna southwards.

🌊

Adriatic Sea

Gran Sasso

The highest massif of the Apennines, often capped with snow even into late spring.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius
