Which side of the plane to sit from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari) to Milano Linate Airport (Milan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic Apennine mountain range, including the Gran Sasso, while offering a clear view of the Italian interior and the Po Valley during the descent into Milan.

Tavoliere delle Puglie
View the vast 'granary of Italy', a massive agricultural plain that looks like a patchwork quilt from above.
Lake Lesina and Varano
Two large coastal salt-water lagoons located at the base of the Gargano Peninsula.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest peak in the Apennines, Corno Grande, often remains snow-capped well into the spring.
L'Aquila and Central Valleys
Rugged valleys and historic towns nestled within the mountainous heart of the Abruzzo region.
Po Valley Approach
The transition into the industrial and agricultural heartland of Northern Italy as the plane descends toward Linate.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the Adriatic. Keep your camera ready about 20-25 minutes after takeoff from Bari to capture the Gran Sasso massif. During winter months, the contrast between the white mountain peaks and the green valleys is spectacular.

Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring the dense Foresta Umbra and dramatic white limestone cliffs.
Tremiti Islands
A small, turquoise archipelago visible in the Adriatic Sea just north of the Gargano coast.
Adriatic Coastline
Continuous stretches of sandy beaches and seaside resorts including Pescara and San Benedetto del Tronto.
Mount Conero
A rare limestone headland near Ancona that breaks the otherwise flat Adriatic sandy coastline.
Port of Ancona
A major elbow-shaped port city that is a key gateway for ferries crossing to the Balkans.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun begins to set in the west, illuminating the coastline. It offers the best view of the Gargano Peninsula immediately after takeoff. If the flight path stays coastal, you can track the entire railway line and motorway that connects the south to the north.
