Which side of the plane to sit from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari) to Pisa International Airport (Pisa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the initial Adriatic coastline, the highest peaks of the Apennines, and the iconic architectural landmarks of Pisa during the final approach.
Adriatic Coastline
Crystal clear waters and seaside towns like Trani and Barletta immediately after takeoff from Bari.
Gran Sasso Massif
Stunning views of the highest peak in the Apennines, Corno Grande, often snow-capped well into spring.
Tuscan Hills
The rolling vineyards and cypress-lined roads of the Val d'Orcia and Chianti regions as the plane descends.
Piazza dei Miracoli
The Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, and the Baptistery are usually visible on the right during the final approach to Runway 04.
Request a window seat away from the wing for the best views of the Apennine peaks. For the iconic Leaning Tower photo, have your camera ready 2-3 minutes before touchdown. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the Tuscan landscape from the east.
Alta Murgia National Park
The unique limestone plateau of Puglia, characterized by rocky outcrops and ancient sheep tracks.
Southern Apennines
Deep valleys and rugged limestone peaks of the Molise and Campania regions as the plane crosses the peninsula.
Port of Livorno
The bustling industrial maritime hub and its complex canal systems are visible just before the final turn to Pisa.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. During landing, watch for the distant silhouettes of the Tuscan Archipelago islands, like Elba and Gorgona, visible over the Tyrrhenian Sea if the weather is clear.
