Which side of the plane to sit from Brindisi – Salento Airport (Brindisi) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an exceptional panorama of the high Swiss Alps, including the Bernese Oberland, and provides the best angle for the Apennine ridge during the transit of the Italian peninsula.
Central Apennines
Aerial views of the rugged spine of Italy as the flight tracks northwest toward the Po Valley.
Po Valley
The vast, geometric agricultural patchwork of northern Italy's fertile plains.
Milan Outskirts
Distant views of the Milanese metropolitan area and its surrounding industrial landscape.
Lake Maggiore
The westernmost of the great Italian lakes, often visible just before entering Alpine airspace.
Bernese Oberland
Spectacular views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross into Switzerland.
Swiss Plateau
Green rolling hills and small villages during the descent toward the EuroAirport.
For evening flights, the left side is the 'sunset side,' offering dramatic lighting over the Alps. This side is also better for spotting the iconic 4,000-meter peaks of central Switzerland. During the winter, the contrast between the white peaks and the valley shadows is particularly striking.
Salento Coastline
Beautiful turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea immediately after takeoff from Brindisi.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of the Italian boot, featuring dense forests and dramatic limestone sea cliffs.
Adriatic Riviera
The endless sandy beaches of Rimini and the Romagna coast stretching north.
Lake Como
The Y-shaped alpine lake is often visible deep in the valleys during the Alpine crossing.
Central Swiss Alps
Views of the Gotthard Massif and the glaciated peaks of central Switzerland.
Black Forest
The dark, dense woodlands of southern Germany visible just across the border during final approach.
Choose the right side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Adriatic without the glare. It offers a unique view of the Gargano National Park shortly after departure. Keep your camera ready as you approach Basel for a glimpse of the Rhine River winding through the border region.
