STN → BRI
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Central Alps and a stunning descent along the Italian Adriatic coastline, offering a blend of alpine peaks and turquoise waters.
English Channel Crossing
Catch the transition from the White Cliffs of Dover to the French coastline shortly after departure.
Bernese Oberland
Spectacular views of the Swiss Alps, including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks if the sky is clear.
Po Valley & Venice
Glimpse the vast northern Italian plains and the distant Venetian Lagoon as you enter Italian airspace.
Adriatic Riviera
Continuous views of the sandy beaches and coastal resorts of Rimini, Ancona, and the Conero Regional Park.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring the Foresta Umbra and dramatic limestone cliffs jutting into the sea.
Opt for an early morning flight to see the sun rising over the Adriatic Sea. For the best Alpine views, sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the mountain range. During the winter months, the snow-covered peaks are particularly breathtaking.
French Countryside
Panoramic views of the rolling vineyards and rural landscapes of the Champagne and Burgundy regions.
Mont Blanc Massif
Western Europe's highest peak is often visible in the distance to the west during the Alpine crossing.
The Apennines
A birds-eye view of the rugged mountain range that forms the backbone of the Italian peninsula.
Murge Plateau
Observe the unique limestone landscape of Puglia, dotted with olive groves and ancient stone structures.
Bari Cityscape
A direct view of Bari's historic center (Barivecchia) and the modern port during the final approach into BRI.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the shimmering lakes of northern Italy (like Lake Como) in the distance shortly after crossing the Alps. Watch for the distinct 'trulli' houses of Puglia as you descend over the Murge.
