Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Italian Adriatic coastline upon departure, a stunning perspective of the Dolomites and Lake Garda, and the rolling greenery of the Ardennes during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Gargano Peninsula

The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring white limestone cliffs and the ancient Foresta Umbra.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

Deep turquoise waters stretching along the Italian coast towards the Venetian lagoon.

🏞️

Lake Garda

A spectacular view of Italy's largest lake nestled between the flat plains and the steep Alpine foothills.

❄️

The Dolomites

The jagged, pale limestone spires of this UNESCO World Heritage site are a major flight highlight.

🌳

The Ardennes

Rolling hills and deep river valleys of southern Belgium as the aircraft descends into Charleroi.

The right side is unbeatable for the initial climb out of Bari. To see the Dolomites clearly, midday or afternoon flights are best as the sun illuminates the south-facing rock walls. Ensure your window is clean to capture the contrast between the turquoise Adriatic and the white Italian shoreline.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Central Apennines

Bird's-eye view of the rugged Abruzzo peaks and the Gran Sasso massif shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Bologna and Po Valley

The historic red rooftops of Bologna and the vast, patterned agricultural plains of Northern Italy.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Glaciated peaks of the Bernese Oberland, often featuring views of the Eiger and Jungfrau massifs.

💧

Lake Neuchâtel

The shimmering blue expanse of the largest lake entirely within Swiss territory.

🌲

Vosges Mountains

Densely forested ridges of Eastern France passing underneath as the flight enters the northern European plain.

Choose the left side for dramatic alpine peaks if the flight path tracks slightly west. Morning flights provide excellent front-lit views of the Swiss glaciers. Keep a lookout for the transition from the dry Mediterranean landscape to the lush greenery of central Europe about 50 minutes into the flight.
