Which side of the plane to sit from Malpensa International Airport (Milano) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Italy's diverse terrain, featuring the urban layout of Milan upon departure followed by the dramatic, rugged peaks of the Apennine Mountains throughout the mid-flight.

Milan Skyline
Aerial perspectives of the Duomo and the CityLife skyscrapers shortly after takeoff from Malpensa.
Central Apennines
The continuous chain of limestone peaks forming the backbone of the Italian peninsula.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest massif in the Apennines, featuring the Corno Grande peak which remains snow-capped into summer.
Tavoliere delle Puglie
The vast, flat plains of northern Puglia, characterized by gold and green patchwork fields.
Hilltop Villages
Ancient medieval settlements perched precariously on the ridges of the Molise and Abruzzo regions.
Sit on the right for the most dramatic mountain photography. About 35-45 minutes into the flight, look for the Gran Sasso; it is unmistakable. For the best views of the Apennines, avoid seats directly over the wing which can block the vertical view of the mountain ridges.

Po Valley
The geometric patterns of Lombardy's fertile agricultural heartland stretching toward the horizon.
Adriatic Coastline
The endless sandy beaches of the Romagna Riviera visible as the plane nears the coast.
Monte Conero
The white limestone cliffs of the Conero Regional Park rising sharply from the sea near Ancona.
Gargano Peninsula
The prominent 'spur' of the Italian boot featuring dense forests and jagged coastal inlets.
Choose this side for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the Adriatic Sea. During the descent into Bari, the left side often provides a better angle of the 'Bari Vecchia' historic center if the flight path approaches from the north over the water.
