Which side of the plane to sit from Cologne Bonn Airport (Cologne) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the stunning Adriatic coastline and the dramatic crossing of the Swiss Alps, finishing with a beautiful view of the Gargano Peninsula.
Black Forest
Lush evergreen canopies of Germany's most famous woodland region.
Swiss Alps
Breath-taking views of high-altitude glaciers and jagged Swiss peaks during the crossing.
Venetian Lagoon
Potential distant views of the Venice archipelago if the flight path stays coastal.
Rimini Beaches
Long stretches of sandy beaches and vibrant umbrellas along the Romagna coast.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy featuring rugged limestone cliffs and the Foresta Umbra.
Trani Cathedral
The striking white Romanesque cathedral standing right on the water's edge shortly before landing.
Book a morning flight to see the sun reflecting off the Adriatic Sea. Choose a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Alpine glaciers. Clear winter days provide the most dramatic, high-contrast mountain views.
Rhine Castles
Ancient fortresses perched above the Rhine river shortly after takeoff from CGN.
Lake Zurich
Views of the sprawling lake and the city of Zurich against the mountain backdrop.
Po Valley
The vast, geometric farmland patterns of Italy's fertile agricultural heartland.
Gran Sasso
The highest peaks of the Apennines, often capped with snow until late spring.
Abruzzo Hills
Rolling vineyards and medieval hilltop villages typical of central Italy.
Ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a more inland perspective of the rugged Apennine Mountains and the historic castles of the Rhine valley.
