BGY β PSR
Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Pescara International Airport (Pescara)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Apennine Mountains, including the Gran Sasso massif, and unique views of the microstate of San Marino before descending into the Abruzzo region.
Bergamo Alta
Immediately after takeoff from BGY, look back to see the historic Venetian walls and medieval towers of Upper Bergamo.
Apennine Backbone
The rugged peaks of the Northern and Central Apennines dominate the horizon for the majority of the flight path.
San Marino
The distinct silhouette of Mount Titano and the three towers of the world's oldest republic are visible near Rimini.
Gran Sasso d'Italia
The highest massif in the Apennines, featuring Corno Grande, provides a majestic backdrop during the descent into Pescara.
Majella Massif
Further south, the vast and wild limestone plateaus of the Majella National Park come into view just before landing.
The right side is superior for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the limestone faces of the Apennines. Ensure you keep an eye out for San Marino roughly 25-30 minutes into the flight. Sit behind the wing for the most unobstructed view of the Gran Sasso massif during the initial descent phase.
Lombardy Plains
A patchwork of industrial zones and ancient agricultural grids stretching from Bergamo toward the Po Valley.
Adriatic Coastline
Long, golden sandy stretches of the Riviera Romagnola appearing as a thin line between the land and the azure sea.
Monte Conero
The dramatic limestone cliffs near Ancona that break the otherwise flat sandy coastline of the central Adriatic.
Port of Ancona
A clear view of the bustling maritime hub and the historic elbow-shaped harbor during the mid-flight segment.
Pescara Shoreline
The final approach offers a sweeping view of the city's vast marina and urban beaches along the water's edge.
Choose the left side for morning flights to witness the sun reflecting off the Adriatic Sea. It is particularly scenic during the descent when the plane tracks parallel to the coastline, offering a bird's-eye view of the resort towns.
