Which side of the plane to sit from Brindisi – Salento Airport (Brindisi) to Milano Linate Airport (Milan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Apennine mountain range, including Italy's highest mainland peak, and provides a superior view of the Milan skyline during the final approach into Linate.
Apulian Coastline
Aerial views of the white-sand beaches and turquoise waters near Brindisi and Bari shortly after takeoff.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peak in the Apennines, often snow-capped, offering a rugged contrast to the coastal plains.
Central Italy Highlands
The rolling hills and historic towns of Abruzzo and Marche as the flight tracks north-northwest.
Po Valley Plain
The vast, geometric agricultural patterns of the Padana plain leading toward the industrial heart of Italy.
Milan Skyline
On the final descent, look out for the Unicredit Tower and the Duomo di Milano appearing on the horizon.
Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Apennine peaks. During the landing phase at Linate, seats behind the wing offer the best angle for capturing the Milan cityscape without engine glare. Watch for the distinctive shape of the Gran Sasso massif about 30 minutes into the flight.
Adriatic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea and the distant Croatian coastline on exceptionally clear days.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring dense forests and dramatic limestone cliffs jutting into the sea.
Riviera Romagnola
The long, sandy stretches of Rimini and Riccione, identifiable by the organized grids of colorful beach umbrellas.
Po River Delta
The intricate network of waterways and wetlands where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic.
The Alpine Arc
As the plane descends toward Milan, the majestic, snow-capped Alps form a breathtaking northern horizon.
Ideal for early morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Adriatic. Keep your camera ready as you approach Northern Italy; the panoramic view of the Alps stretching from east to west is most visible from this side. The Gargano Peninsula is a major landmark to spot roughly 15-20 minutes after departure.
