Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning sequence of Lake Como's Y-shaped basin, the high Swiss Rhaetian Alps, and the massive expanse of Lake Constance (Bodensee) before descending into Central Europe.
Search flights from BGY to PRG
Lake Como
Shortly after takeoff from BGY, look out to see the deep blue waters and mountainous shores of Italy's most famous lake.
Bernina Range
Dramatic views of the easternmost 4,000m peaks of the Alps, featuring glaciers and jagged granite ridges.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A spectacular view of the massive lake where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Bohemian Forest
Dense, rolling green forests of the Šumava region as the plane enters Czech airspace.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. This side is particularly rewarding during the first 20 minutes of flight as the plane climbs over the Lombardy lakes. In clear winter conditions, the snow-covered Swiss Alps are significantly more visible on this side.

Lake Iseo
Visible almost immediately after departure, featuring the large lake island of Monte Isola.
Ortler Alps
Striking views of South Tyrol's highest mountains, often capped with snow year-round.
Tyrolean High Alps
Deep glacial valleys and traditional alpine villages visible as the flight traverses Austrian airspace.
Central Bohemian Highlands
Ancient volcanic hills and small Czech towns as you begin the final descent into Prague.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm 'golden hour' glow on the mountain peaks. It provides a more direct view of the high Eastern Alpine massifs. During the descent into Prague, if the plane approaches from the south, this side may catch a glimpse of the Vltava river.
