Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a magnificent perspective of the Adriatic coastline, the distinctive Gargano Peninsula, and the dramatic Apuan Alps upon arrival in Tuscany.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Adriatic Coastline

The turquoise waters and white sandy beaches following the departure from Brindisi.

🌲

Gargano National Park

The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring dense forests and steep white limestone cliffs.

🏝️

Tremiti Islands

A small, picturesque archipelago visible in the Adriatic Sea north of the Gargano.

⛰️

Apuan Alps

The jagged marble peaks near Carrara, looking snow-capped even in summer due to the white stone.

🗼

Leaning Tower of Pisa

If the flight approaches from the north, you may spot the Square of Miracles just before landing.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun. Keep a close eye out approximately 15 minutes after takeoff for the Gargano Peninsula, and watch for the white marble quarries of the Apuan Alps during the initial descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌳

Salento Olive Groves

Aerial patterns of vast olive plantations across the Puglia region shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Gran Sasso Massif

Dramatic views of the highest peaks in the Apennines located in the Abruzzo region.

💧

Lake Trasimeno

The sparkling blue waters of Italy's fourth-largest lake nestled in the heart of Umbria.

🍇

Chianti Hills

The quintessential rolling hills and vineyard-covered landscapes of central Tuscany.

🏟️

Florence (Distant)

On clear days, the iconic red dome of Santa Maria del Fiore is visible in the distance.

Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views as the sun drops over the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is also the better side for viewing the rugged interior mountain ranges of central Italy during mid-flight.
