Alban Hills
The volcanic landscape of the Castelli Romani and the crater of Lake Albano visible shortly after takeoff.
Central Apennines
Dramatic views of the snowy or rocky peaks of the Abruzzo region, including the Sirente-Velino massif.
Adriatic Coastline
The deep blue water of the Adriatic Sea comes into view as the aircraft crosses the peninsula towards Molise.
Gargano Promontory
The 'spur' of the Italian boot visible to the north, featuring dense forests and limestone cliffs.
Bari Port
As the plane aligns for landing at BRI, the historic harbor and the Old Town of Bari are often visible.
Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side provides a clear view of the Adriatic coastline as you approach Bari. Keep an eye out for the Tremiti Islands in the distance if the sky is exceptionally clear.
