Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior on this route as it typically offers a stunning panorama of the Swiss Alps, a clear view of the Venice Lagoon, and a scenic descent following the Italian Adriatic coastline into Puglia.
Irish Sea Crossing
Clear views of the crossing from Dublin towards the coast of Wales shortly after departure.
Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of the central Alpine peaks and glaciers during the mid-flight cruise.
Venice and the Lagoon
A prime vantage point to see the historic city of Venice and its surrounding islands as the route turns south.
Adriatic Riviera
Continuous views of the sparkling turquoise coastline and beach resorts along the Italian east coast.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of the Italian boot, featuring the Foresta Umbra and dramatic limestone cliffs.
Sit on the left (port) side for the best chance to see Venice. For morning flights, the sun will be on the right side of the plane, meaning the left side will have better lighting for photography without glare. Keep a lookout approximately 40 minutes before landing for the transition from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged mountains and valleys of North Wales visible shortly after takeoff.
Paris Basin
Expansive views of the French countryside and the distant outskirts of the Paris metropolitan area.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps is often visible to the south during the crossing of the French-Swiss border.
Po Valley
The vast, geometric agricultural heartland of Northern Italy stretching toward the horizon.
Central Apennines
The mountainous spine of Italy, offering rugged terrain views throughout the Italian leg of the journey.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun begins to set in the west, casting a golden glow over the Apennine Mountains. If the flight takes a more westerly path over France, you may get a closer look at the French Alps and the city of Turin.
