Which side of the plane to sit from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari) to Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (Genoa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides an exceptional vantage point for the rugged Apennine Mountains, the rolling hills of Tuscany, and the spectacular cliffside villages of the Italian Riviera during the descent into Genoa.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
Look north to see the highest peaks of the Apennines, often capped with snow well into the spring months.
Tuscan Countryside
Fly over the heart of Italy, spotting the geometric patterns of vineyards in the Chianti region and historic hill towns.
Gulf of Poets
As the plane reaches the coast, see the stunning Bay of La Spezia and the iconic town of Portovenere.
Cinque Terre
A breathtaking aerial view of the five world-famous colorful villages perched precariously on the Ligurian cliffs.
Port of Genoa
Experience a close-up view of the 'Lanterna' lighthouse and the massive container terminals as the plane lands on the coastal runway.
This is the premier side for this route. Afternoon flights are spectacular as the sun illuminates the pastel-colored houses of the Ligurian coast. The approach to Genoa's runway 28 is famous for its low pass over the harbor—be ready with your camera about 10 minutes before landing.
Adriatic Coastline
Immediately after takeoff from Bari, enjoy views of the turquoise waters and the Puglian towns of Molfetta and Bisceglie.
Apennine Valleys
Cross the mountainous spine of Italy, observing the deep green valleys and remote villages of the Basilicata and Campania regions.
Tuscan Archipelago
On clear days, look toward the horizon to spot the distant silhouettes of Elba and Capraia islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Ligurian Sea
As the plane turns for its final approach, watch the heavy maritime traffic entering the major Mediterranean shipping lanes.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. During the final descent into GOA, you will mostly see the open sea until the very last moment before touchdown, making it ideal for those who enjoy a peaceful, oceanic horizon.
