Which side of the plane to sit from Brindisi – Salento Airport (Brindisi) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a continuous and breathtaking view of the Italian peninsula's interior, featuring the rolling hills of Puglia, the rugged Apennine mountain range, and the historic urban landscapes of coastal cities.
Bari Metropolitan Area
A clear view of the sprawling capital of Puglia and its historic port early in the flight.
Gran Sasso Massif
The highest peaks of the Apennines, often snow-capped, providing a dramatic silhouette against the horizon.
San Marino
The world's oldest republic perched atop Monte Titano is often visible during the descent into the Emilia-Romagna region.
Gargano National Park
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, showcasing dense forests and limestone plateaus from an inland perspective.
Bologna Red Roofs
During the final approach, enjoy views of the city's iconic medieval towers and terracotta architecture.
Choose the left side to see the sunset behind the Apennines on evening flights. Mid-flight, look for the distinctive peak of Gran Sasso d'Italia. This side avoids the harsh glare of the Adriatic sun during morning departures.
Brindisi Port
An immediate view of the natural 'inner and outer' harbor of Brindisi right after takeoff.
Tremiti Islands
Small, rocky islands appearing like jewels in the turquoise Adriatic Sea near the Gargano coast.
Riviera Romagnola
The famous endless stretches of sandy beaches and organized umbrellas of Rimini and Riccione.
Adriatic Horizon
A vast, calming expanse of blue water, occasionally dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.
Sit on the right for the best coastal views of the Gargano cliffs. For the best photography of the blue Adriatic waters, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the sea from behind the aircraft.
