Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the high Alpine peaks, including Mont Blanc, and provides a sweeping view of the Italian peninsula's rugged Apennine spine during the descent into Puglia.
Paris Landmarks
Depending on departure runway, capture views of the Eiffel Tower and the winding Seine River.
Mont Blanc
Get a close-up view of Western Europe's highest peak as you cross the French-Italian border.
Po Valley
The vast, fertile plains of Northern Italy and the meandering Po River are visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Apennine Mountains
Fly parallel to the rugged mountain range that forms the geological backbone of Italy.
Apulian Landscapes
Observe the silver-green patchwork of ancient olive groves that characterize the Bari countryside.
The right side is the 'mountain side'. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes after takeoff for the Mont Blanc massif. For late afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can be harsh for photos, but offers spectacular golden hour lighting over the Apennine ridges.
Champagne Region
View the orderly rows of world-famous vineyards in the Grand Est region shortly after takeoff from CDG.
Swiss Alps Panorama
Distant but clear views of the Bernese Oberland peaks and Lake Geneva as the flight heads southeast.
Gargano Peninsula
As the plane descends, look for the 'spur' of the Italian boot jutting into the turquoise Adriatic Sea.
Adriatic Horizon
Deep blue maritime views and coastal towns of the Molise and Puglia regions during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, this side offers the best view of the Adriatic coastline and the dramatic cliffs of the Gargano National Park. Look for the Tremiti Islands if the flight path stays slightly offshore.
