Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an exceptional perspective of the Alps and a dramatic view of the Italian Adriatic coastline, including the Gargano Peninsula, during the final approach.
Luxembourg City
Clear views of the Alzette and Petrusse valleys cutting through the historic city center.
Central Alps
Stunning vistas of snow-capped Swiss and Austrian peaks during the high-altitude crossing.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distant shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted to the east.
Adriatic Coastline
The turquoise waters and sandy beaches of Rimini and Ancona stretching southwards.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring the dense Foresta Umbra and white limestone cliffs.
Adriatic Sea
Deep blue maritime views as the aircraft banks for its final descent into Bari.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun is positioned to the south/east, illuminating the Alps and the coast without harsh glare. Watch for the Gargano Peninsula approximately 20 minutes before landing; it is the most iconic landmark on this route.
Vosges Mountains
Dense forests and rolling hills of Eastern France shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Western Alps
Views of the high massifs, including the distant white dome of Mont Blanc on very clear days.
Lake Garda
The southern tip of Italy's largest lake and the Sirmione peninsula are often visible.
Emilia-Romagna Plains
The geometric patterns of Italian farmland and the urban sprawl of Bologna.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged 'spine' of Italy, featuring deep valleys and ancient hilltop villages.
The right side is the best choice for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Apennine Mountains. If the flight path takes a more westerly corridor, you may get a much closer view of Lake Garda and the Po Valley.
