BGY → CAG
Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Tuscan Archipelago islands and a more scenic final approach over the historic center of Cagliari and the Molentargius salt pans.
Apennine Mountains
Cross over the rugged peaks of the northern Apennines shortly after leaving the Po Valley.
Tuscan Archipelago
Panoramic views of Elba, Pianosa, and Montecristo islands dotting the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Cagliari Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the historic Castello district and the harbor during the final descent.
Molentargius Saline
Vibrant pink salt pans known for their resident flamingo colonies just before touchdown.
Book an early morning flight to have the sun behind you for better photography of the Tuscan islands. On approach, watch for the 'Devil's Saddle' rock formation. In winter, the Apennine peaks are often capped with snow, providing excellent contrast against the blue sea.
Ligurian Coast
Distal views of the Italian Riviera and the Gulf of La Spezia as the plane heads south.
Corsica's Silhouette
The dramatic, jagged mountain skyline of Corsica is often visible across the water to the west.
Strait of Bonifacio
The narrow blue channel separating the islands of Corsica and Sardinia.
Sardinian Wilderness
Views of the untamed landscapes and granite peaks of northern and central Sardinia.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. During the crossing of the Bonifacio Strait, look for the white limestone cliffs of the Corsican coast. Visibility is typically highest in late spring when the air is crisp.
