Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Naples to Newark. The right side delivers the spectacular Naples departure — Vesuvius, the Bay of Naples, and Capri — which is genuinely one of the most dramatic airport departures in Europe. The left side wins on landing, but the Naples departure view is rarer and more visually striking for most travelers, making right the better overall pick for the full experience.

During takeoff from Capodichino (NAP), sit on the Right side for the best views. Naples Capodichino typically departs on runway 24 heading southwest, then turns northwest toward the Atlantic. A right-side seat captures the Bay of Naples, Vesuvius, and the Sorrentine Peninsula as the aircraft climbs and banks. The left side faces inland toward the Campanian hills with far less drama. Notable sights include: Mount Vesuvius, Bay of Naples, Sorrentine Peninsula, Isle of Capri.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR approaches from the east or northeast on runway 22L/22R, meaning the aircraft tracks over the Atlantic and descends over New York Harbor. The left side gives a direct view of Lower Manhattan, the Hudson River, and the Statue of Liberty on final approach. The right side faces New Jersey's industrial waterfront and Newark Bay. Notable sights include: Lower Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

The flight from Capodichino (NAP) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 10 to 11 hours.

The flight tracks northwest over the Tyrrhenian Sea, crosses Corsica and Sardinia, then heads over the western Mediterranean before crossing the Iberian Peninsula near the Pyrenees. It then crosses the Bay of Biscay, tracks over the North Atlantic following a great circle route passing south of Iceland and Greenland, crosses the Canadian Maritime provinces including Nova Scotia, and descends over the northeastern US seaboard toward New York.
