Which side of the plane to sit from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning traverse of the Central Swiss Alps and an iconic view of the Rhine River valley as you descend into the North Rhine-Westphalia region.
The Apennines
The rugged limestone spine of central Italy visible shortly after departing the Adriatic coast.
Swiss Alpine Giants
Dramatic views of the Jungfrau region and the Aletsch Glacier as the plane crosses into Northern Europe.
Lake Lucerne
The intricate, branch-like shape of this Swiss lake nestled between steep mountain slopes.
Middle Rhine Valley
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its high density of castles and steep vineyard terraces.
Cologne Skyline
On the final approach, look for the twin spires of the Cologne Cathedral standing out against the city grid.
Choose the left side for optimal lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the peak Alpine crossing. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Berner Oberland are exceptionally bright, so polarized sunglasses are recommended.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring dense forests and dramatic white sea cliffs.
The Dolomites
Jagged, pale peaks of the Eastern Alps visible in the distance during the mid-flight transit.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen canopies stretching across the rolling hills of southwestern Germany.
Ruhr Industrial Area
The sprawling urban landscape and industrial architecture of Germany's most populous region on the horizon.
The right side is perfect for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the horizon. It provides a great perspective of the Adriatic coastline immediately after takeoff from Bari. Watch for the distinct blue waters of Lake Constance roughly mid-way through the flight.
