Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the rugged Apennine mountain range, including the highest peak in the peninsula, Gran Sasso, while the right side remains mostly over the Adriatic coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Gran Sasso d'Italia

The highest peak in the Apennines, Corno Grande, often capped with snow through late spring.

🌲

Majella National Park

Massive limestone plateaus and deep canyons visible shortly after crossing into Abruzzo.

⛰️

Monti Sibillini

Stunning wild landscapes and high-altitude peaks located between the Marche and Umbria regions.

🏰

San Marino

The microstate perched atop Mount Titano is often visible on the descent towards Bologna.

🍷

Emilian Hills

The transition from the mountains to the fertile, vineyard-covered plains of Emilia-Romagna.

Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the limestone peaks of the Apennines. Keep a close watch about 30 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain views.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Adriatic Coastline

A continuous view of the Italian eastern seaboard, featuring blue waters and coastal resorts.

🌳

Gargano Peninsula

The 'spur' of Italy's boot, covered in the dense greenery of the Foresta Umbra.

🏝️

Tremiti Islands

A cluster of small, rocky islands appearing as turquoise dots in the Adriatic Sea.

🏞️

Mount Conero

The only major headland on the Adriatic coast north of Gargano, known for its white cliffs.

🏖️

Riviera Romagnola

The famous long stretches of sandy beaches near Rimini and Riccione during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the mountains. On exceptionally clear days, look across the sea to catch a glimpse of the Croatian coastline.
