Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the Italian Lakes, the Tyrrhenian coastline, and iconic islands such as Capri and the volcanic Aeolian chain.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Spectacular vistas of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs to the west.

💧

Lake Como

Clear views of the Y-shaped glacial lake and the luxury villas lining its shores.

🏛️

Rome & Fiumicino

The Eternal City and the Tiber River snaking toward the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🏝️

Capri & Ischia

The sparkling turquoise waters of the Gulf of Naples and its world-famous islands.

🌋

Stromboli

In clear weather, the active volcanic island of the Aeolian chain is visible in the distance.

The right side is unbeatable for sunset views over the sea. As you descend towards Lamezia, look for the Aeolian Islands on the horizon. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of Lake Como during the initial cruise phase.

🏖️

Cilento National Park

Untouched coastlines and dense Mediterranean forests in Southern Campania.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Alpine glaciers. Watch for the sharp silhouette of Vesuvius roughly 75 minutes into the flight. During the final approach into SUF, you will see the rugged interior mountains of Calabria.
