BGY → BUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic northern Alpine peaks, the jagged Dolomites, and the stunning Lake Garda shortly after departure.
The Dolomites
Spectacular views of the UNESCO-listed limestone peaks and steep valleys of the Italian Alps.
Lake Garda
A clear view of Italy's largest lake, including the narrow northern fjord-like section and Sirmione.
Julian Alps
Fly past Mount Triglav and the rugged Slovenian mountain ranges as you cross the border.
Tihany Peninsula
As the plane descends into Budapest, the historic abbey on the Tihany Peninsula at Lake Balaton is often visible.
Book a window seat on the left for the most consistent mountain scenery. In winter, the snow-capped Dolomites are particularly breathtaking. This side also avoids the harsh southern sun glare during the midday eastbound flight.
Po Valley Cities
Aerial views of Verona, Vicenza, and the geometric agricultural patterns of northern Italy.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days with a slightly southern flight path, the distinct shape of Venice and its islands can be spotted to the south.
Slovenian Countryside
Rolling green hills, dense forests, and the outskirts of Ljubljana nestled in the Ljubljana Basin.
Lake Balaton Shore
Bird's eye view of the southern resorts and sandy beaches of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to catch the golden hour light reflecting off the Adriatic Sea in the distance. Watch for the descent over the Transdanubian region of Hungary for views of the rolling vineyards.
