Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a continuous panorama of the Adriatic coastline, including the dramatic cliffs of the Gargano Peninsula and the turquoise waters surrounding the Tremiti Islands.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Adriatic Riviera

View the endless sandy stretches of Rimini, Riccione, and Cattolica as the plane follows the coast south.

⛰️

Mount Conero

The distinctive limestone promontory near Ancona that breaks the straight coastline with sheer cliffs.

🏝️

Tremiti Islands

A small archipelago of five islands appearing as gems in the Adriatic Sea near the Gargano coast.

🌳

Gargano National Park

The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring dense forests and white coastal cliffs near Vieste.

⚓

Gulf of Manfredonia

The wide blue bay that marks the final stretch of the descent into Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport.

Choose a window seat on the left (A) for coastal views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun rises over the sea, though it may cause glare; late afternoon flights offer beautiful soft lighting on the Gargano cliffs. Keep an eye out for the distinctive turquoise color of the water around the Tremiti Islands midway through the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Central Apennines

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

🏔️

Gran Sasso d'Italia

The highest peak in the Apennines, Corno Grande, is often visible peaking through the clouds.

💧

Lake Campotosto

A large artificial lake located high in the Abruzzo region, surrounded by alpine scenery.

⛰️

Majella Massif

A massive limestone plateau known as the 'Mother Mountain' of the Abruzzo region.

The right side (F) is best for mountain lovers. During winter, the snow-covered Gran Sasso massif is a spectacular sight. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the mountain ranges isn't obstructed by the engine. This side is also better in the afternoon to avoid the direct sunlight reflecting off the Adriatic.
