BRI → FKB
Which side of the plane to sit from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari) to Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior balance of the sparkling Adriatic coastline during the initial climb, a sweeping view of the Venetian lagoon, and a prime angle for spotting Lake Constance and the Black Forest.
Adriatic Coastline
Enjoy views of the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of the Italian coast from Bari up toward Ancona.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the unique footprint of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted as you cross the northern Adriatic.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A massive freshwater landmark where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet, usually visible just before the final descent.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of the 'Schwarzwald' dominate the landscape as the plane approaches FKB.
The right side is perfect for morning flights when the sun illuminates the Alps from the east. It provides the best view of the transition from the Mediterranean climate of the Adriatic to the temperate forests of southern Germany. Watch closely for the 'Zeppelin' hangars near Friedrichshafen as you pass Lake Constance.
Central Apennines
The rugged mountain spine of Italy stretches out beneath the plane shortly after leaving the Puglian coast.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is often visible to the west, nestled between the Po Valley and the rising Alpine foothills.
Central Alpine Peaks
Dramatic views of the Swiss and Austrian Alps, featuring glaciated peaks and deep valleys during the trans-Alpine crossing.
Rhine Valley
The winding river valley serves as a geographic guide as the aircraft begins its northern descent.
Sit on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. This side is ideal for spotting the high Swiss peaks and the expansive flatlands of the Po Valley before entering the mountains. Keep a lookout for the city of Milan in the far distance if the flight path tracks slightly west.
