Which side of the plane to sit from Brindisi – Salento Airport (Brindisi) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is slightly superior as it offers a breathtaking panorama of the Venetian Lagoon followed by the high peaks of the Austrian Alps and the Chiemsee before landing.
Adriatic Coastline
Follow the turquoise waters of the Gargano Peninsula and the Tremiti Islands shortly after takeoff.
Venetian Lagoon
A highlight of the trip, offering a bird's-eye view of the historic islands and the unique 'S' shape of the Grand Canal.
High Tauern Range
Fly over the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the majestic Großglockner area.
Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this large lake features the Herreninsel island and its famous palace.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. The transition from the flat Venetian plains to the verticality of the Alps is best appreciated from this side. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for Venice.
Apennine Mountains
View the rugged spine of Italy as the flight tracks north-northwest toward the Po Valley.
Lake Garda
The largest lake in Italy often appears as a deep blue fjord-like structure nestled at the foot of the Alps.
The Dolomites
Spectacular views of the jagged, pale limestone peaks of the South Tyrol region.
Munich Skyline
On southward approaches, you can spot the Allianz Arena and the iconic towers of the Frauenkirche.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Italian mainland cities like Bologna and Verona. If the flight arrives from the north, you'll get a great view of the Olympic Park. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the mountain textures without sun glare.
