Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its immediate panoramic views of Lake Garda and the breathtaking, jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites shortly after takeoff.
Lake Garda
A stunning view of Italy's largest lake tucked into the base of the Alps immediately after departure.
The Dolomites
The world-famous 'Pale Mountains' known for their dramatic vertical walls and sharp rocky spires.
Bavarian Foothills
The picturesque landscape of southern Germany where the Alps meet the rolling green farmland.
Leipzig Hub
A clear view of the urban sprawl and major logistics centers in the heart of Saxony.
Berlin TV Tower
The iconic Fernsehturm and the dense urban center of Berlin visible during the final approach into the capital.
The most scenic portion occurs within the first 25 minutes; keep your camera ready from the moment the landing gear retracts. Watch for the 'Tropical Islands' dome—the world's largest freestanding hall—on the right side approximately 10 minutes before landing.
Central Alps
Rugged snow-capped peaks along the Italian and Austrian border visible during the initial cruise phase.
Lake Constance
A massive tri-national lake known as Bodensee, bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Munich Landmarks
Spot the white, tire-shaped Allianz Arena stadium located on the northern outskirts of the Bavarian capital.
Thuringian Forest
Expansive views of the dense evergreen canopy covering the rolling hills of central Germany.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the transition from the Alps to the German plains. Morning flights provide excellent, glare-free lighting on this side, making it ideal for photography of the Thuringian landscapes.
