Which side of the plane to sit from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Adriatic coastline, the iconic Venetian Lagoon, the jagged peaks of the Dolomites, and a sweeping view of Lake Constance before the descent into Stuttgart.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of the Italian boot with rugged white cliffs and crystal-clear Adriatic waters.
Venice and the Lagoon
If the flight path hugs the coast, the unique island city and its surrounding marshes are clearly visible.
The Dolomites
Spectacular jagged limestone peaks and UNESCO-listed mountain scenery in the Eastern Alps.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
The massive lake shared by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland is a major landmark during the descent.
Swabian Jura
The plateau landscape of Southern Germany featuring limestone cliffs and hilltop castles.
The right side is the star of this route. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent illumination for photos of Venice and the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 40-50 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views. In winter, the snow-covered Dolomites are particularly breathtaking from this side.
Apennine Mountains
Dramatic views of the central Italian mountain range shortly after departure from Bari.
Po Valley
The expansive, flat agricultural and industrial heartland of Northern Italy.
Swiss-Italian Alps
High altitude views of glaciated peaks and deep valleys as you cross the central Alpine ridge.
Black Forest
Dense, dark green woodland visible as the aircraft begins its final approach into the Stuttgart region.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side provides a great view of the high Swiss peaks and the expansive Po Valley. It is generally quieter in terms of major landmarks but offers beautiful, vast landscape changes.
