Bari Waterfront
Aerial view of the historic 'Bari Vecchia' and the bustling port area immediately after takeoff.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring the lush Umbra Forest and dramatic white limestone cliffs.
The Dolomites
Iconic UNESCO World Heritage limestone peaks, particularly stunning when snow-capped in winter or glowing at sunset.
South Tyrolean Valleys
Deep alpine valleys dotted with medieval castles and apple orchards near the Brenner Pass.
Bavarian Heartland
The geometric patchwork of green fields and small villages as the plane descends into Munich.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Dolomites. For morning flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight, making it easier to take photos of the mountains without glare. Keep an eye out about 40 minutes into the flight for the transition from the Adriatic coast to the high Alps.

Adriatic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea with the distant silhouette of the Croatian islands.
Tremiti Islands
A small, turquoise archipelago visible off the coast of the Gargano Peninsula.
Grossglockner View
The highest peak in Austria (Grossglockner) is often visible to the far right during the alpine crossing.
Lake Chiemsee
Bavaria's largest lake, often referred to as the 'Bavarian Sea,' visible during the final approach.
Erdinger Moos
The scenic wetlands and flatlands surrounding Munich Airport during the landing phase.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Croatian coastline in the distance on exceptionally clear days. During the descent, watch for the massive Lake Chiemsee. Be aware that on midday flights, the sun will be on this side, which may require closing the window shade to avoid heat and glare.
