SVQBRI

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Balearic Islands, the rugged northern tip of Sardinia, and the dramatic Gargano Peninsula during the approach to the Adriatic coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Sevilla Panorama

Aerial views of the Guadalquivir river and the historic city center immediately after takeoff from SVQ.

🏖️

Mallorca North Coast

Stunning vistas of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range and the turquoise bays of the largest Balearic island.

⛰️

Strait of Bonifacio

Clear views of the narrow passage between Corsica and the rugged granite cliffs of northern Sardinia.

🏔️

Central Apennines

The snowy peaks and deep valleys of the Italian mountain range as the flight crosses from the Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic.

🌊

Gargano National Park

The 'spur' of the Italian boot, featuring dense forests and white limestone cliffs jutting into the blue Adriatic Sea.

🏝️

Tremiti Islands

Small, crystal-clear archipelago visible just off the coast during the initial descent phase.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. This side is particularly spectacular during the descent, as the flight path often tracks along the Italian coast, providing a clear view of the transition from the Apennine mountains to the limestone cliffs of Puglia. Seasonal tip: in winter, the Apennines are often snow-capped, providing incredible contrast.

Right Side Highlights

🏜️

Andalusian Countryside

The vast, rolling olive groves and dry landscapes of eastern Andalusia as you leave the Spanish mainland.

🏝️

Ibiza and Formentera

Views of the Pityusic Islands' southern shores as the plane crosses the Mediterranean.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

On clear days, the silhouette of the famous volcano near Naples is visible in the distance to the south.

🌳

Puglian Olive Groves

The geometric patterns of millions of ancient olive trees that define the landscape of the Bari province.

⚓

Bari Old Town

A close-up view of the 'Bari Vecchia' district and the San Nicola Basilica during the final turn into the airport.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. As you approach Bari, look for the traditional 'Trulli' stone houses in the countryside; they appear as tiny white dots with conical roofs. During landing, this side often gets a better view of the city's waterfront and industrial port.
