Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites and a spectacular coastal approach over the Adriatic Sea and the Gargano Peninsula.
Rhine-Main Region
Aerial views of the sprawling German landscape and the Odenwald mountains shortly after departure from Hahn.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' visible on the border of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, marking the start of the Alpine crossing.
The Dolomites
Breathtaking views of the jagged, pale peaks of the Italian Alps, particularly striking in winter when covered in snow.
Adriatic Coastline
A long stretch of the Italian eastern coast, featuring the turquoise waters of the Adriatic meeting the sandy beaches near Rimini.
Gargano Peninsula
The iconic 'spur' of the Italian boot, characterized by the Foresta Umbra and dramatic white sea cliffs.
Book a window seat in the front or rear third of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or a polarizing filter for photos. The view of the Gargano Peninsula about 20 minutes before landing is the highlight of the trip.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of southwestern Germany's most famous mountain range.
Swiss & Central Alps
Panoramic views of the high glaciers and snow-capped peaks of the central Alpine range.
Po Valley
The geometric patterns of Italy's agricultural heartland, bisected by the winding Po River.
Apennine Spine
The rugged mountain range that forms the backbone of Italy, visible as you fly south toward Puglia.
Puglian Landscapes
The final descent offers views of the endless olive groves and the distinctive 'trulli' architecture near the coast.
This side is excellent for afternoon flights, as you will avoid the direct glare of the sun and enjoy soft lighting over the Apennines. Keep an eye out for Lake Como or Lake Garda depending on the specific flight corridor assigned by ATC over Northern Italy.
