Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning, nearly continuous view of the Mediterranean coastline, featuring the Italian Riviera, the French Côte d'Azur, and the rugged cliffs of the Costa Brava.
Genoa & Ligurian Coast
Shortly after takeoff, view the historic port city of Genoa and the colorful villages of the Italian Riviera.
French Riviera
Panoramic views of Nice, Cannes, and the glamorous coastline of the Alpes-Maritimes.
Marseille & Calanques
The white limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets of the Calanques National Park near Marseille.
Camargue Delta
The unique salt pans and wetlands of the Rhone delta, known for its pink hues and wildlife.
Costa Brava
The final approach offers a spectacular view of the rugged 'Wild Coast' of Catalonia before turning inland.
For morning flights, the left side provides the best lighting as the sun illuminates the coastal cliffs. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after departure for the transition from Italy to France. Look for the distinct blue line where the Mediterranean meets the shore.
Western Alps
Distant but impressive views of the snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps shortly after leaving Bergamo.
Provence Countryside
The rolling hills, vineyards, and lavender fields of inland Provence and the Luberon massif.
Mont Ventoux
The isolated 'Giant of Provence' stands out prominently from the surrounding landscape.
Eastern Pyrenees
As you descend toward Girona, the high peaks of the Pyrenees border the horizon to the north.
The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer mountain scenery over coastal views. In winter, the snow-covered peaks are particularly majestic. During sunset flights, this side will experience the 'golden hour' glow over the French and Spanish countryside.
