Central Alps
Breathtaking views of the jagged, snow-capped Swiss and Italian Alpine peaks approximately one hour into the flight.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring the dense Umbra Forest and dramatic white limestone cliffs meeting the sea.
Tremiti Islands
A small archipelago of crystal-clear waters visible just off the northern coast of the Gargano region.
Brindisi Natural Harbor
A spectacular view of the 'pig's head' shaped inner harbor and the Aragonese Castle during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side offers the best view of the Adriatic coastline as the aircraft turns to align with the runway at Salento Airport. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the Gargano coast.
