Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the sparkling Adriatic coastline and the dramatic Gargano Peninsula, culminating in a beautiful approach over Brindisi's historic harbor.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌳

Ardennes Forest

Overlooking the dense, rolling hills of Belgium and Luxembourg shortly after departure.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Majestic snow-capped peaks and glaciers as you cross from Switzerland into Italy.

🌊

Adriatic Sea

A continuous view of the turquoise coastline running down the eastern side of Italy.

⛰️

Gargano Peninsula

The distinctive 'spur' of the Italian boot jutting into the deep blue sea.

⚓

Brindisi Port

Clear views of the historic harbor and the Castle of Alfonsino during landing.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Adriatic sunrise on morning departures. Look out for the rugged Gargano National Park—the 'spur' of Italy—about 20 minutes before landing. On the final descent, the plane usually patterns over the water, giving you an excellent view of the Brindisi city center and port area.

Right Side Highlights
8.0
🏙️

Brabant Region

Takeoff views of the Dutch countryside and Eindhoven's industrial urban layout.

🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Famous peaks like Eiger and Jungfrau visible on the western Alpine horizon.

💧

Lombardy Lakes

Aerial glimpses of Lake Garda or Lake Como nestled in the northern Italian foothills.

🏘️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged mountain spine that defines the landscape of central Italy.

🫒

Salento Groves

Endless patterns of ancient olive trees unique to the Puglia region just before touchdown.

The right side provides a wider view of the central Alpine range and the inner spine of the Apennines. Avoid this side on morning flights if you want to escape direct sunlight and glare. Look for the vast expanses of ancient olive groves as you cross the Salento peninsula; they are especially striking in the late afternoon sun.
