Which side of the plane to sit from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a breathtaking perspective of the Gargano Peninsula upon departure and a front-row seat to the most dramatic peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps during the mid-flight cruise.

Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of the Italian boot featuring white cliffs and the lush Foresta Umbra.
The Dolomites
The iconic, jagged pale peaks of the eastern Italian Alps visible as you head north.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria converge.
Thames Estuary
The intricate waterways and shipping lanes where the River Thames meets the North Sea.
London Skyline
On many approaches to Stansted, the distant skyscrapers of Canary Wharf and the City are visible to the south.
The right side is superior for mountain photography; the sun will be behind you for much of the northbound journey, reducing glare. Look out for the massive cargo ships in the Channel just before reaching the Essex coast.

Central Apennines
Dramatic views of Italy's rugged limestone spine shortly after takeoff from Bari.
The Po Valley
The vast, geometric agricultural tapestry of Northern Italy unfolding beneath the wing.
Western Alps
Distant views of the Mont Blanc massif and the snow-capped French-Italian border peaks.
The Weald of Kent
The lush, green landscape of the 'Garden of England' during the final descent into the UK.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and the best chance to see the sunset over the French countryside during evening departures. Watch for the English coastline near Hastings as you cross the Channel.
