CAG → BRI
Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views, particularly when crossing the Italian mainland where the Amalfi Coast, the Gulf of Salerno, and the rugged Southern Apennines come into clear view.
Poetto Beach
A clear view of Cagliari's long urban beach and the 'Sella del Diavolo' headland immediately after departure.
Amalfi Coast
Stunning views of the steep cliffs and colorful villages of Positano and Amalfi as you cross near the Sorrento Peninsula.
Gulf of Salerno
The deep blue waters of the gulf and the bustling maritime activity around the port of Salerno.
Cilento National Park
Dense forests and wild mountain landscapes of one of Italy's largest protected wilderness areas.
Murge Plateau
The unique karst landscape of central Puglia, characterized by stone walls and the distant silhouette of Castel del Monte.
This is the premier side for coastal scenery. During the afternoon, the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Amalfi cliffs for photography. As the plane descends into Bari, look for the traditional 'trulli' structures dotted across the landscape in the Murge region. Try to book a seat toward the back of the aircraft to keep the wing out of your coastline shots.
Molentargius-Saline Regional Park
Just after takeoff, see the vast salt pans and wetlands near Cagliari, often home to pink flamingos.
Campanian Archipelago
Distal views of Ischia and Procida islands sitting in the blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Mount Vesuvius
Looking north as you approach the mainland, the iconic silhouette of the volcano is frequently visible.
Matese Mountains
Rugged limestone peaks of the Central-Southern Apennines as the flight enters the Molise/Puglia border region.
Tavoliere delle Puglie
The 'granary of Italy,' a vast flat plain that marks the approach into northern Puglia.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the early morning to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better distant views of the Neapolitan coastline and the Gargano Peninsula on a very clear day. Choose a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Apennine ridgelines.
