Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Katowice International Airport (Katowice)?

Lake Iseo
Shortly after departure, the plane passes right by this stunning alpine lake, featuring the large island mountain of Monte Isola.
The Dolomites
Unrivaled views of the iconic, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, including the famous Marmolada and Sella massifs.
Hohe Tauern & Grossglockner
View the highest peaks in Austria, including the Grossglockner, characterized by year-round snow and expansive glaciers.
Brno and Moravia
As the flight crosses the Czech Republic, see the city of Brno and the surrounding southern Moravian vineyards.
Upper Silesian Industrial Region
On final approach to KTW, observe the dense urban and industrial landscape that defines this historically significant Polish region.
The right side is the 'scenic' choice for this route. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Dolomites as the sun moves west. Be sure to have your camera ready within the first 20 minutes of flight, as the transition from Lake Iseo to the high Alps happens very quickly.

Bergamo Città Alta
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy a perfect view of the historic medieval upper city of Bergamo and its Venetian walls.
Bernina Massif
Distant views of the high glaciated peaks of the Swiss Alps on the northwestern horizon during the initial climb.
Salzburg Outskirts
As the plane leaves the Alps, the left side looks toward the rolling hills and lakes of the Austrian Salzkammergut region.
Bohemian-Moravian Highlands
Rolling green landscapes and dense forests of the Czech Republic as the aircraft begins its initial descent toward Poland.
The left side is ideal for capturing the departure from Bergamo. If you are flying in the morning, sitting on the left avoids direct sun glare, which is better for photography. Look out early for the stark contrast between the Po Valley and the rising mountains.
