Which side of the plane to sit from Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari) to Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (Bari)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a continuous panorama of the Italian Adriatic coastline, featuring a mix of sandy beaches, the dramatic Mount Conero, and the rugged 'spur' of Italy, the Gargano Peninsula.
Venetian Riviera
The long, golden sandy stretches of Jesolo and Caorle visible shortly after takeoff.
Mount Conero
The limestone cliffs of the Conero Regional Park near Ancona, the only significant high point on the central Adriatic coast.
Apennine Mountains
The snow-capped peaks of the Gran Sasso d'Italia often visible inland during the winter and spring months.
Coastal Cities
Clear views of Rimini, Pesaro, and Pescara as the flight path hugs the shoreline.
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy, featuring the Foresta Umbra and the white cliffs of Vieste as the plane approaches Puglia.
Bari's Old Town
On final approach, catch a glimpse of the Basilica di San Nicola and the historic harbor of Bari.
The right side is the definitive choice for this route. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Italian coastline isn't obstructed. In the late afternoon, the low sun illuminates the Apennine peaks and coastal cliffs in warm, orange tones.
Gulf of Trieste
Aerial views of the deep blue waters and the busy shipping lanes exiting the port of Trieste.
Istrian Peninsula
Distant views of the Croatian coastline and the scattered islands of the northern Adriatic.
Maritime Traffic
Excellent vantage point for spotting ferries and cargo ships crossing between Italy and the Balkans.
Adriatic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sea, particularly stunning during sunrise or midday when the water reflects high-angle sunlight.
The left side is preferable for morning flights if you wish to avoid the direct glare of the sun. While mostly water, look out for the distant silhouette of the Dinaric Alps in Croatia on exceptionally clear days.
