Which side of the plane to sit from Brindisi – Salento Airport (Brindisi) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Gargano Peninsula, the dramatic jagged peaks of the Dolomites, and a stunning bird's-eye view of Lake Constance during the descent.
Gargano Promontory
The distinctive 'spur' of the Italian boot jutting into the turquoise Adriatic Sea.
The Dolomites
Spectacular views of the UNESCO-listed limestone spires of Northern Italy.
Lake Constance
A magnificent view of the entire Bodensee, where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.
Swabian Jura
The limestone plateaus and ancient castle ruins scattered across southern Germany.
Stuttgart Approach
Excellent views of the Neckar valley and the surrounding vineyards during the final turn.
The right side is essential for seeing Lake Constance, one of the route's biggest highlights. Sit here for evening flights to catch the sunset's golden hour lighting up the Alpine peaks to the west. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for Hohenzollern Castle.
Adriatic Coastline
Sweeping views of the Italian shoreline as you fly north from Puglia.
Central Apennines
The rugged limestone peaks of the Gran Sasso d'Italia and the Maiella massif.
Emilia-Romagna Plains
The structured patchwork of the Po Valley's agricultural heartland.
Central Alps
Glistening glaciers and high-altitude peaks as the plane crosses into Switzerland.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests appearing as the aircraft begins its approach to Stuttgart.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for better views of the high Apennine peaks. Look out for the red roofs of historic Italian towns in the Marche region midway through the flight.
