Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to Brindisi – Salento Airport (Brindisi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point of the Western Alps immediately after takeoff, followed by a continuous panorama of the Apennine Mountains, including the majestic Gran Sasso d'Italia massif.
Monviso & Western Alps
Dramatic views of the iconic pyramidal peak of Monviso shortly after takeoff from Turin.
Central Apennines
The rugged spine of Italy, featuring deep valleys and snow-capped ridges in winter months.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
View of the highest peak in the Apennines, Corno Grande, towering over the Abruzzo region.
Puglia Olive Groves
The characteristic patchwork of ancient olive trees that define the landscape of the Salento plain.
Salento Peninsula
Final approach views of the southern Italian countryside and traditional 'masseria' farmhouses.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. Look out immediately after takeoff for the Alps. During the middle of the flight, the plane often flies parallel to the Apennines, providing a continuous mountain view. Afternoon flights are spectacular on this side as the sun highlights the western slopes of the mountains.
Turin Cityscape
Bird's-eye view of the grid-like layout of Turin and the Po River shortly after departure.
Adriatic Coastline
The long, sandy beaches of the Romagna and Marche regions visible as the plane nears the sea.
Mount Conero
A striking limestone promontory that juts out into the Adriatic near the city of Ancona.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot, featuring the lush Foresta Umbra and dramatic white sea cliffs.
Port of Brindisi
The unique 'reindeer antler' shaped natural harbor as the plane descends into Brindisi.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best views of the Adriatic's blue hues. This side is also better for spotting the Gargano Peninsula from the sea side. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the coastline.
