Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the high Swiss Alps, including the iconic peaks of the Bernese Oberland, and follows the scenic Rhine valley during the transition into Germany.
Swiss Alps Massif
Breathtaking views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross the high Alpine ridge shortly after takeoff.
Lake Como
Glacial views of the deep blue 'Y' shaped lake nestled between the pre-Alpine foothills.
The Upper Rhine
The flight path often mirrors the river's path, showcasing the greenery of the Rhine Valley.
The Ruhr Metropolis
A clear view of Germany's dense industrial heartland and its interconnected urban landscapes.
Münsterland
The transition into the flat, patchwork green fields of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Alps are spectacular in the first 20 minutes of the flight. Be sure to look down immediately after reaching cruising altitude to spot the transition from mountains to the plateau.
Lake Iseo
A stunning view of Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Europe, visible immediately after departure.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A massive body of water where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet, often appearing as a vast inland sea.
The Black Forest
Dark, dense evergreen canopy stretching across the horizon in southwestern Germany.
Swabian Jura
Distinctive limestone plateaus and dramatic escarpments visible through southern Germany.
The Weser River
The final landmark as the aircraft aligns with the runway at Bremen Airport, showcasing local shipping traffic.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, as it captures the 'golden hour' light reflecting off Lake Constance. It offers a broader perspective of the German countryside. Watch for the massive wind farms typical of Northern Germany as you approach Bremen.
