Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?

Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unrivaled perspective of the jagged Dolomites and the deep blue of Lake Garda as you cross the Alps.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

The Dolomites

Iconic limestone peaks and deep valleys of the South Tyrol region.

💧

Lake Garda

The northern tip and expansive body of Italy's largest lake.

🏛️

Bologna

The red-tiled roofs and towers of the historic Emilian capital.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged interior spine of Italy stretching southwards.

🏰

Castel del Monte

The unique 13th-century octagonal castle visible during the final descent into Puglia.

The Right Side is the clear winner for Alpine enthusiasts. Choose an afternoon flight for the best lighting on the Dolomites. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Castel del Monte approximately 15 minutes before landing.

Left Side Highlights

🏔️

Hohe Tauern

Glaciated peaks of the Austrian Alps including the Grossglockner massif.

Venice Lagoon
