Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a spectacular vantage point for the turquoise Adriatic coastline and the unique geographic silhouette of the Gargano Peninsula.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
💧

Lake Garda

Depending on the departure path, catch a glimpse of Italy's largest lake to the northeast.

🌊

Po River Delta

Observe the intricate network of waterways where Italy's longest river meets the Adriatic Sea.

🏖️

Adriatic Riviera

Bird's-eye view of the perfectly organized colorful umbrellas and beaches of Rimini and Riccione.

⛰️

Gargano Peninsula

The prominent 'spur' of the Italian boot, featuring lush green forests and rugged white limestone cliffs.

⚓

Bari and Trani Ports

Clear views of the historic limestone cathedrals and bustling marinas along the Puglian coast during descent.

Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. The approach into Brindisi often follows the coastline, making this side superior for spotting the transition from deep blue sea to the olive groves of Puglia.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged spine of Italy featuring snow-capped peaks during the winter and spring months.

🏰

San Marino

The world's oldest republic perched atop Mount Titano is often visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🏔️

Gran Sasso d'Italia

The highest peak in the Apennines, offering dramatic rocky terrain and deep valleys.

🌳

Murge Plateau

A vast karst landscape characterized by white stone walls and ancient olive orchards.

📐

Castel del Monte

Look for the distinct octagonal shape of Frederick II’s 13th-century citadel on a hill near Andria.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Apennine peaks. Keep a sharp eye out for Castel del Monte about 15 minutes before landing; it is small but perfectly symmetrical from above.
