Which side of the plane to sit from Milano Linate Airport (Milan) to Brindisi – Salento Airport (Brindisi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Adriatic coastline, the Tremiti Islands, and the distinctive Gargano Peninsula, which are much more visually engaging than the inland landscapes on the right.
Milan Skyline
Aerial view of the city's modern skyscrapers including the Unicredit Tower shortly after takeoff.
Adriatic Riviera
Continuous views of the beaches and resort towns of Rimini and Riccione stretching along the coast.
San Marino
The peaks of Mount Titano and the microstate of San Marino are often visible from the coast.
Tremiti Islands
The small, turquoise-fringed archipelago located off the coast of Gargano.
Gargano Peninsula
Dramatic view of the 'spur' of the Italian boot with its white cliffs and lush Umbra Forest.
Brindisi Port
A close-up view of the natural harbor and the Aragonese Castle during the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Adriatic Sea. Avoid seats over the wing to maintain an unobstructed view of the coastline. This side is particularly scenic during clear summer days when the sea colors are most vibrant.
Apennine Mountains
The central spine of Italy, featuring rugged peaks and deep valleys.
Gran Sasso
The highest peak in the Apennines, often snow-capped even in late spring.
Majella National Park
Expansive limestone massifs and high-altitude plateaus in the Abruzzo region.
Murge Plateau
The karst landscape of Puglia, characterized by stone walls and endless olive groves.
Puglian Hill Towns
Cluster of white-washed villages dotting the inland landscape of the Itria Valley.
The right side is best for landscape enthusiasts who enjoy mountain scenery. During late afternoon flights, the Apennines are beautifully illuminated by the setting sun. Ensure your window is clean to capture the subtle textures of the olive groves as you approach Brindisi.
