BGY → SKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the stunning Dalmatian Coast and the rugged karst peaks of the Balkan Peninsula.
Lombardy Foothills
Aerial views of the Prealps and the southern tips of the Italian glacial lakes shortly after departure from BGY.
Venice and the Lagoon
On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands are visible as the flight crosses the northern Adriatic.
Croatian Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the thousands of limestone islands scattered along the Croatian coastline near Zadar and Split.
Dinaric Alps
Dramatic, jagged mountain terrain as the aircraft traverses the interior of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Lake Ohrid
The ancient, deep blue waters of Lake Ohrid on the border of Albania and North Macedonia.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly spectacular during morning flights when the sun illuminates the white limestone of the Croatian islands. Keep a lookout approximately 40 minutes into the flight for the best coastal views.
Po Valley
The expansive, fertile plains of Northern Italy, showcasing intricate agricultural patterns and the Po River.
Adriatic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea, often dotted with cargo ships and ferries.
Albanian Riviera
The rugged and pristine coastline of southern Albania, where the mountains meet the Ionian Sea.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the gods and Greece's highest peak is often visible to the south during the final descent into SKG.
Thermaic Gulf
Aerial view of the shipping lanes and the city of Thessaloniki wrapping around the bay during the approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the sea. During the descent into Thessaloniki, this side offers the best chance to spot Mount Olympus to the southwest, especially if the plane approaches from the sea.
