TRNBRI

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is preferred for the stunning departure views of the Western Alps and the consistent perspective of the Apennine mountain range stretching across the Italian peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Western Alps & Monviso

Immediate views after takeoff of the snow-capped Alpine peaks surrounding Turin, including the iconic pyramid of Monviso.

⛰️

The Apennine Spine

A continuous view of the rugged mountain range that forms the backbone of Italy throughout the mid-flight.

🍷

Tuscan Landscapes

Depending on the specific airway, views of the rolling hills and vineyards of Tuscany and Umbria.

🪨

Alta Murgia National Park

The unique limestone plateau and karst landscapes of Puglia during the final descent into Bari.

The departure from Turin is the highlight; ensure your window is clean for photos of the Alps. This side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. You will see the transition from the industrial north to the rugged center and the olive-grove-filled south.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏢

Milan and Po Valley

Aerial view of the sprawling Lombardy capital and the fertile agricultural plains of northern Italy.

🏖️

Adriatic Coastline

The turquoise waters and sandy beaches of Rimini and Riccione become visible as the flight tracks southeast.

🏰

San Marino

The tiny microstate perched atop Monte Titano is often visible on the horizon.

🌲

Gargano Peninsula

The scenic 'spur' of the Italian boot, featuring the lush Umbra Forest and dramatic sea cliffs.

Sit on the left if you want a clear view of the Adriatic Sea as you approach Bari. During morning flights, expect significant glare from the rising sun on this side. Best views of the Gargano National Park occur about 15-20 minutes before landing.
