BRI → VRN
Which side of the plane to sit from Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari) to Verona Villafranca Airport (Villafranca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a dramatic progression from the rugged Apennine mountain range to the stunning glacial waters of Lake Garda during the final approach into Verona.
Apennine Mountains
Panoramic views of the central Italian mountain spine, including the high peaks of the Gran Sasso massif.
Bologna Skyline
As the plane turns north, the red-roofed historic center and towers of Bologna are often visible.
Lake Garda
A breathtaking view of Italy's largest lake and its surrounding pre-Alpine slopes during the descent into VRN.
Valpolicella Vineyards
Low-altitude views of the famous terraced vineyards just north of Verona shortly before landing.
Sit on the left for the best views of the sunset if flying in the evening. During the winter, the snow-capped Apennines are a major highlight. For the Lake Garda view, ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed look at the Sirmione peninsula.
Adriatic Coastline
Follow the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea spanning from the Gargano peninsula up to the Po Delta.
Gargano National Park
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring dense green forests contrasting against white limestone cliffs.
Po River Delta
The intricate network of wetlands, lagoons, and sandbars where Italy's longest river meets the sea.
Ravenna & Mosaic Cities
Clear views of the coastal towns of Emilia-Romagna, known for their Byzantine history.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the coastline. Keep an eye out for the unique 'Trabocchi' fishing platforms along the Abruzzo coast. On very clear days, you may catch a glimpse of the Croatian coast across the sea.
