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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an exceptional view of the alpine crossing and the stunning approach along the Adriatic coastline, featuring the dramatic Gargano spur.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Rhine River Valley

View the winding Rhine River and the lush landscapes of western Germany shortly after departure from Weeze.

🏔️

Central Alpine Range

A spectacular panorama of the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps during the mid-flight cruise.

🏙️

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the distant silhouette of Venice and its surrounding islands can be seen to the east.

🌲

Gargano Peninsula

The 'spur' of the Italian boot, featuring dense forests and dramatic limestone cliffs jutting into the sea.

🏖️

Adriatic Coastline

A long, scenic stretch of turquoise water and coastal towns as the plane begins its final descent into Bari.

For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps and the Italian coast. Keep a lookout for the Tremiti Islands just before reaching the Gargano coast.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Eifel National Park

Aerial views of the volcanic landscape and dense forests of the Eifel region shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Swiss High Alps

Distant but majestic views of the highest Swiss peaks, including possible sightings of the Bernese Oberland.

💧

Lake Garda

The largest lake in Italy is often visible to the west as the flight passes over the northern Italian plains.

⛰️

Apennine Mountains

The rugged spine of Italy provides a continuous backdrop of ridges and valleys throughout the descent.

🏡

Puglian Countryside

View the unique patchwork of olive groves and traditional stone 'Trulli' houses near the destination.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, offering a beautiful golden hour glow over the Apennine Mountains. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you may see the shimmer of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the far distance. It is also the better side for viewing the rural landscape of Puglia during the final approach.
