Which side of the plane to sit from Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (Rome) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior, offering an immediate panoramic view of Rome's historic center after takeoff and a more direct perspective of the rugged Maiella massif during the trans-Apennine crossing.

Ancient Rome
Unparalleled views of the Colosseum, Vatican City, and the Tiber River shortly after lifting off from FCO.
Maiella National Park
Fly past the 'Mother Mountain' of Abruzzo, featuring some of the highest and wildest peaks in the Apennines.
Apulian Plains
A tapestry of ancient olive groves and traditional stone-walled fields as you descend toward the coast.
Bari Waterfront
A beautiful view of the Lungomare and the historic San Nicola district just before touchdown.
Sit on the right for the iconic Rome fly-past. For the best photography, morning flights provide front-lit views of the mountains, while evening flights offer a stunning sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea behind you.
Book Hotels in Bari
Lazio Coastline
Striking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the coastal wetlands near Fiumicino immediately after departure.
Sirente-Velino
The sharp limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Abruzzo region are visible during the middle segment of the flight.
Gargano Peninsula
As the plane begins its descent, the 'spur' of Italy's boot can be seen jutting into the Adriatic to the northeast.
Choose the left side for cooler lighting during midday flights. It offers an excellent view of the northern Adriatic coastline as you approach Bari, especially if the plane enters a northern holding pattern.
