Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Naples to Lisbon. Right seats capture the dramatic Bay of Naples departure and the Tagus estuary arrival. While left has the Vesuvius takeoff, the landing view from the right—the river, monument, and city—is more visually rewarding and makes up for a less spectacular climb-out.

During takeoff from Capodichino (NAP), sit on the Left side for the best views. Naples typically departs runway 24 (southwest heading). Left seats face northwest initially, giving direct views of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples before the aircraft turns westbound. Right seats see the Campania plain inland. Notable sights include: Mount Vesuvius (1,281 m, 8 km southeast of airport), Bay of Naples with Capri island visible on clear days, Sorrento Peninsula to the south, Campania coastal plain.

When landing at Lisboa (LIS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Lisbon typically lands runway 03 (north heading) or 21 (southwest heading). For runway 03 approaches, right seats face east and see the Tagus River estuary and Lisbon's eastern districts. For runway 21, right seats see the river and Cristo Rei monument on the south bank. Either scenario favors right. Notable sights include: Tagus River estuary (Tejo), Cristo Rei monument on Almada south bank, Lisbon city center with Baixa district, Sintra hills visible 30 km northeast on clear days.

The flight from Capodichino (NAP) to Lisboa (LIS) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes.

The route crosses the Tyrrhenian Sea west of Corsica and Sardinia (both visible on very clear days as distant landmasses 100+ km south), then enters the Mediterranean proper. The flight passes south of the Balearic Islands (typically 80+ km north, not visible), and approaches the Iberian Peninsula crossing the Spanish coast near Huelva or further south. The Strait of Gibraltar remains 150+ km south throughout. Mainland Spain's interior plateau (Meseta) is visible during descent into Portugal, appearing as a tan, relatively featureless plain at cruise altitude.
