GOA → BRI
Which side of the plane to sit from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (Genoa) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an immediate and breathtaking view of the Ligurian Riviera, including Portofino, shortly after takeoff, followed by the rolling landscapes of Tuscany and a clear view of the Adriatic coastline upon approach to Bari.
Ligurian Coastline
Unbeatable views of the luxury villas of Portofino and the rugged cliffs of the Cinque Terre shortly after takeoff.
Tuscan Countryside
Patchwork fields, vineyards, and medieval hilltop towns of Central Italy visible as the flight path cuts across the peninsula.
Mount Vesuvius
On clear days, the silhouette of the famous volcano near Naples can be seen on the distant southern horizon.
Bari Old Town
As the plane banks for the final approach to BRI, enjoy views of the Basilica di San Nicola and the historic harbor.
The right side is superior for evening flights as you can witness the sun setting over the Mediterranean. It also provides the best view of the Ligurian 'Golfo del Tigullio' immediately after departing Genoa.
Genoa Harbor
A bird's-eye view of one of the Mediterranean's largest ports and the historic Lanterna lighthouse during departure.
Northern Apennines
Dramatic views of the mountain range that forms the backbone of Italy as you cross from Liguria toward the southeast.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy’s boot, featuring dense forests and white limestone cliffs jutting into the Adriatic Sea.
Adriatic Riviera
The long, sandy stretches of the Molise and northern Puglia coastlines visible during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the distinct shape of the Gargano Promontory.
