Which side of the plane to sit from Brindisi – Salento Airport (Brindisi) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Mediterranean vistas, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the rugged Apennine spine of Italy, the outskirts of Rome, and the dramatic snow-capped Pyrenees on the descent into Catalonia.

Apennine Mountains
The dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys forming the backbone of the Italian peninsula.
Rome & The Tiber
Panoramic views of the Eternal City and the winding Tiber River as the flight crosses the Lazio coast.
Southern Corsica
Dramatic white limestone cliffs and the citadel of Bonifacio perched on the island's edge.
Gulf of Lion
The vast expanse of the Mediterranean where the French and Spanish maritime borders meet.
Pyrenees Mountains
The spectacular eastern range of the Pyrenees provides a backdrop for the final approach into Girona.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the sun and enjoy clear views of the mountains. Keep a close watch roughly 30-40 minutes into the flight for a distant view of Rome. During descent, look north for the Pyrenees, which are most impressive in winter and spring when covered in snow.

Port of Brindisi
Aerial view of the natural inner harbor and the historic Alfonsino Castle immediately after takeoff.
Mount Vesuvius
Distant but iconic silhouette of the volcano and the sprawling Bay of Naples to the south.
Strait of Bonifacio
The narrow, turquoise channel separating the islands of Corsica and Sardinia.
Costa Brava
The rugged, 'wild coast' of Spain with hidden coves and turquoise waters as you approach Girona.
Paestum Ruins
In clear weather, the ancient Greek temples near the coast of Campania are visible.
Choose the left side for better views of the Italian southern coastline and the northern shores of Sardinia. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the light reflects off the Tyrrhenian Sea, though be prepared for some glare in the late afternoon.
