Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers unparalleled views of the jagged Dolomites and provides the best angle for the dramatic approach over the Gargano Peninsula into Bari.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
💧

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

Shortly after takeoff from STR, catch a glimpse of this massive lake bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Look for the iconic limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, characterized by their sharp, jagged silhouettes.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

Depending on the specific airway, you can often see Venice and its surrounding islands shimmering in the distance.

🏖️

Gargano Peninsula

As you descend, witness the 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring lush green forests meeting the turquoise Adriatic.

🌊

Adriatic Horizon

Enjoy the deep blue expanse of the sea as the plane aligns for the final approach into Bari.

Morning flights on the left side may face some glare from the rising sun, but the views of the Gargano National Park during descent are worth it. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed photos of the Alpine ridges.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

View the high glaciated peaks of the central range shortly after crossing the German-Swiss border.

🛶

Lake Garda

If the flight path trends west, you will see Italy's largest lake nestled at the foot of the mountains.

🏘️

Po Valley

The expansive northern Italian plains, dotted with historic cities like Verona and Bologna.

⛰️

Gran Sasso d'Italia

Spot the highest peaks of the Apennines in the Abruzzo region as you fly south along the peninsula.

⚓

Puglian Coastline

Watch the rugged cliffs and small coastal towns transition into the urban sprawl of Bari.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for the Apennine Mountains. It also offers a great view of the Italian interior before turning toward the coast.
