Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Naples to Paris. The right side wins overall because the Vesuvius and Bay of Naples departure view is one of the most dramatic in European aviation. The landing view from the left is excellent but Paris from the air is a familiar sight; Vesuvius rising above the bay is rarer and more striking.

During takeoff from Capodichino (NAP), sit on the Right side for the best views. Capodichino's primary departure runway 24 sends the aircraft northwest over the city, and the right side faces northeast toward Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. You get a clear look at the volcano and the sweeping coastline as the aircraft climbs and turns. Notable sights include: Mount Vesuvius, Bay of Naples, Castel dell'Ovo on the waterfront, the Sorrentine Peninsula curving south.

When landing at Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Left side for the best views. CDG typically uses westerly runways (26L/26R) for arrivals from the south, meaning the aircraft approaches from the southeast. The left side faces south toward Paris, giving views of the city center, the Seine, and the Eiffel Tower as you descend through the final approach. Notable sights include: Paris city center and the Seine river bends, Eiffel Tower, La Défense business district to the west, Stade de France near Saint-Denis.

The flight from Capodichino (NAP) to Charles De Gaulle (CDG) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The route tracks northwest over the Italian peninsula crossing the Apennines, then over the Po Valley near Turin, across the Alps into France over or near the Mont Blanc massif, then northwest across the Rhône-Alpes region, Burgundy, and the Île-de-France plain into CDG. The Alps crossing is the most dramatic midpoint feature, visible from both sides depending on exact routing.
