Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Central Swiss Alps and the iconic Y-shaped Lake Como shortly after takeoff, followed by the dramatic terrain of the Vosges and Ardennes.
Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of the Saint Gotthard Massif and the snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Oberland.
Lake Como
Exceptional aerial perspective of the Y-shaped lake and the luxury villas dotting its shoreline.
Lake Lucerne
The winding, multi-armed Swiss lake surrounded by steep limestone peaks like Mount Pilatus.
Vosges Mountains
Green, rounded peaks of the Ballon d'Alsace as the plane enters French airspace.
Metz
The historic city center and the distinct yellow limestone of Saint-Etienne Cathedral.
Choose a seat ahead of the wing for the clearest view of Lake Como during the initial climb. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting on the Alpine peaks, making glaciers and ridges highly visible.
Lake Iseo
A quick glimpse of the smaller, sapphire-blue lake nestled in the Orobic Alps.
The Rhine River
Visualizing the border between France and Germany following the silver ribbon of the Rhine.
Black Forest
Distant but expansive views of the dark, dense evergreen canopy in Southwestern Germany.
Luxembourg City
The dramatic deep valleys and historic fortifications of the city center are often visible.
Meuse Valley
Winding rivers and ancient citadels of the Belgian Ardennes during the descent.
Watch for the transition from the rugged Alps to the flat Rhine rift valley. On clear days, you can spot the spire of Strasbourg Cathedral to the east. Seasonal fog is common in the Ardennes, so autumn flights may offer 'cloud sea' views.
