Which side of the plane to sit from Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva) to Brindisi – Salento Airport (Brindisi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred primarily for the spectacular, close-up views of the Mont Blanc massif and the iconic Matterhorn shortly after takeoff, followed by a traverse of the rugged Apennine spine.
Search flights from GVA to BDS
Mont Blanc
Incredible proximity to Western Europe's highest peak and the surrounding glaciers moments after departure.
The Matterhorn
The world-famous pyramid-shaped peak is often clearly visible on the border between Switzerland and Italy.
Aosta Valley
Deep glacial valleys and steep Alpine slopes as you cross from Switzerland into Italy.
Central Apennines
The rugged, limestone peaks of Abruzzo and Molise stretching across the center of the peninsula.
Puglian Plains
A tapestry of olive groves and historic white-stone 'trulli' dwellings as you approach Salento.
The Right Side provides the most dramatic mountain scenery. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the Mont Blanc massif within the first 15 minutes of flight. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Apennine range.
Book Hotels in Brindisi
Lake Geneva
Direct views of the crescent-shaped Lac Léman and the Jet d'Eau if departing towards the east.
Bernese Alps
Distanced but clear views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks to the north.
Milanese Fringe
Bird's eye view of the northern outskirts of Milan and the industrial heart of Lombardy.
Adriatic Riviera
Stunning vistas of the Italian coastline including Rimini, Ancona, and the Conero Regional Park.
Gargano National Park
The distinct 'spur' of Italy's boot jutting into the turquoise Adriatic Sea.
Opt for the left side if you enjoy coastal geography; as the plane descends towards Brindisi, you will track the blue waters of the Adriatic. Early morning flights offer a beautiful sunrise over the sea on this side.
