Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides are spectacular during the Alpine crossing, the right side provides a more direct view of the high Tyrolean peaks, the Berlin metropolitan area, and the stunning Swedish archipelago on the final approach.
The Dolomites & Tyrol
Stunning views of the jagged Dolomite peaks and the deep valleys of the Austrian Tyrol.
Munich Skyline
Look for the Allianz Arena and the sprawling Bavarian capital about 45 minutes into the flight.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
On clear days, the vast urban sprawl of Berlin and its surrounding lake districts are visible.
The Baltic Sea
The crossing from Northern Germany to Sweden offers views of the vast blue Baltic and occasional cruise ships.
Stockholm Archipelago
The descent into Skavsta often glides over the thousands of tiny islands along the Södermanland coast.
The right side is unbeatable for the landing; the approach into Skavsta typically treats passengers to views of the rugged Swedish coastline. In winter, look for frozen lakes and snow-dusted pine forests which look magical under the low northern sun.
Swiss and Austrian Alps
Breathtaking views of the central Alpine massif shortly after departure from Bergamo.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet is clearly visible to the west.
Frankfurt and Central Germany
Bird's eye view of the financial heart of Europe and the rolling hills of the Hesse region.
Fehmarn Belt
The narrow strait between Germany and Denmark, often showing busy shipping lanes.
Swedish Forests
The deep green expanse of the Småland forests as the plane enters Swedish airspace.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready within 10 minutes of takeoff to capture the dramatic contrast between the Po Valley and the rising Alpine peaks.
