Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a stunning sequence of the Mediterranean coastline, the glamorous French Riviera, and a dramatic entry into Northern Italy with views of the Italian Lakes.
Mediterranean Vistas
Expansive views of the deep blue sea and distant glimpses of the Balearic Islands.
French Riviera
An incredible bird's-eye view of Saint-Tropez, Cannes, and the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
Maritime Alps
The dramatic geographic point where the snowy Alps meet the turquoise Mediterranean Sea.
Milan Skyline
The sprawling Po Valley and the distant skyscrapers of Milan's Porta Nuova district.
Lake Iseo
The beautiful pre-alpine lake with its central island, Monte Isola, visible on the final approach.
Monza Circuit
A rare chance to spot the iconic Formula 1 track north of Milan if the flight path is slightly south.
The right side is the winner for coastal scenery. For the best views of the Côte d'Azur, ensure you are seated behind the wing to keep the engine from blocking the shoreline. Morning flights provide the most vibrant colors for the Mediterranean waters, though you may face some glare.
Costa Blanca
Initial views of Alicante's shoreline and the rocky outcrop of Peñón de Ifach near Calpe.
Distant Pyrenees
On clear days, the high peaks of the Pyrenees are visible to the north while crossing the Gulf of Lion.
Provence Interior
Aerial views of the rugged Luberon mountains and the mosaic of vineyards in southern France.
French Alps
Fly past the massive glaciers and high peaks of the Écrins National Park.
Bergamo Alta
A final view of the historic walled upper city of Bergamo just before touchdown.
Opt for the left side for better lighting on afternoon flights to avoid the southern sun. This side is superior for viewing the interior alpine massifs of France and the historic layout of Bergamo upon landing. Watch for the distinctive peak of Mont Ventoux as you cross into France.
