Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the highest peaks in the Alps, including the Mont Blanc massif, followed by a panoramic perspective of the French countryside and distant views of Paris.
Milan & Po Valley
Distant views of the Milanese skyline and the vast agricultural grid of the Lombardy region.
Mont Blanc Massif
A spectacular close-up of Western Europe's highest peak and the surrounding Aosta Valley glaciers.
Jura Mountains
The dramatic limestone ridges and dense forests marking the border between Switzerland and France.
Burgundy Vineyards
Geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards stretching across the rolling hills of central France.
Paris Distant Skyline
On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the skyscrapers of La Défense are visible on the horizon during descent.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic mountain views about 15-20 minutes after takeoff. For morning flights, this side has excellent lighting; however, on afternoon flights, be prepared for significant sun glare. Keep your eyes peeled as you cross the Alps for the distinct white cap of Mont Blanc.
Lake Como & Maggiore
Breathtaking aerial views of the deep blue Y-shaped Lake Como and the sprawling Lake Maggiore.
Matterhorn & Monte Rosa
The iconic pyramid shape of the Matterhorn and the massive Monte Rosa massif visible to the north.
Lake Neuchâtel
A long, turquoise lake in the Swiss plateau nestled against the foot of the Jura range.
Champagne Region
The chalky soil and rolling hills of the Grand Est region, home to the world's most famous sparkling wine.
Château de Chantilly
Visible just before the final approach into Beauvais, a historic estate surrounded by vast parklands.
The right side is ideal for seeing the Swiss-Italian lake district without direct sun interference during midday. Look for the sharp peak of the Matterhorn shortly after the lakes. This side also offers a better view of the northern outskirts of the Picardy region before landing.
