Which side of the plane to sit from Milano Linate Airport (Milan) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Apennine mountain range, including the highest peaks of the Gran Sasso, and a stunning perspective of Milan upon departure.
Milan Skyline
Excellent views of the Duomo di Milano and the modern skyscrapers of Porta Nuova during the initial climb.
The Apennines
The backbone of Italy, offering rugged mountain landscapes and snow-capped peaks during winter months.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest massif in the Apennines, featuring the Corno Grande peak and the southernmost glacier in Europe.
Hilltop Villages
Bird's-eye views of ancient stone towns perched on the ridges of the Abruzzo and Molise regions.
Tavoliere delle Puglie
The vast, flat agricultural plains of Puglia, known as the 'granary of Italy,' visible before landing.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset glow over the mountains. Keep a sharp eye out mid-flight for the Gran Sasso; it is the most impressive landmark on this route. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing for the best view of Milan's city center during takeoff.
Milanese Suburbs
Views of the eastern Milan metropolitan area and the Idroscalo lake right after takeoff from Linate.
Adriatic Coastline
Continuous views of the sandy beaches of the Romagna Riviera, including Rimini and Riccione.
Mount Conero
A unique limestone headland that breaks the linear coastline near the city of Ancona.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring the lush Foresta Umbra and dramatic white cliffs near Vieste.
Adriatic Descent
A scenic approach over the deep blue waters of the Adriatic Sea before turning towards Bari airport.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the turquoise hues of the Adriatic Sea. This side is particularly rewarding as you pass the Gargano Peninsula, which is one of the most distinctive geographic features of the route.
