Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Eastern Alps and a scenic descent along the Adriatic coastline, including the Gargano Peninsula.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🇳🇱

Dutch Polders

Unique reclaimed land patterns and canal networks immediately after departure from Schiphol.

🏔️

Austrian & Italian Alps

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Tyrol peaks and the jagged limestone formations of the Dolomites.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the distant sprawl of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted across the Adriatic.

🏖️

Adriatic Coastline

Aerial perspective of the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches stretching from Rimini down to Puglia.

🌳

Gargano Peninsula

The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring the lush Foresta Umbra and dramatic coastal cliffs.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harshest sun glare. The highlight is the Alpine crossing approximately 50 minutes into the flight. During the descent into Bari, the aircraft often hugs the coastline, providing excellent views of the harbor.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
💧

Lake Constance

A massive freshwater lake where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, often visible before hitting the Alps.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Distances views of the high peaks of the Bernese Oberland if the flight path tracks slightly west.

🇮🇹

Po Valley

The vast, fertile plains of Northern Italy, dotted with historic cities and industrial hubs.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged spine of Italy, offering rolling green ridges and deep valleys throughout the mid-flight.

🌾

Murge Plateau

The karst landscape of Puglia, characterized by olive groves and ancient stone walls visible on final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side. It provides better views of the inland Italian landscape. Watch for the transition from the flat Po Valley into the rugged Apennine terrain about midway through the journey.
