Search flights from BGY to TIA
Orobie Alps
Immediate views of the Bergamo Alps rising sharply to the north as the plane climbs out of BGY.
Venice and the Lagoon
On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands are visible as the route follows the Italian coastline.
Istrian Peninsula
The rugged, heart-shaped coast of Croatia's Istria region with its clear turquoise waters.
Dinaric Alps
Spectacular limestone mountain ranges through Montenegro and Northern Albania during the approach.
Lake Shkodra
The largest lake in the Balkans, marking the border between Montenegro and Albania, visible shortly before landing.
Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps and the Balkan peaks. This side provides the best chance to spot the unique urban layout of Venice early in the flight. During winter, the snow cover on the mountains makes the Dinaric Alps look particularly dramatic.

Po Valley
The vast, fertile plains of Northern Italy and the winding path of the Po River.
Adriatic Riviera
The endless sandy beaches of Rimini and the Italian eastern coastline stretching toward the horizon.
Open Adriatic Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic, often dotted with cargo ships and ferries.
Port of Durrës
Albania's primary port city and its curved bay visible during the final descent into Tirana.
Adriatic Sunset
If flying in the late afternoon, this side offers incredible sunset views over the water.
Choose the right side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Adriatic Sea. While the terrain is less mountainous than the left, you get a great sense of the coastal geography of both Italy and Albania. Ensure you look out about 15 minutes before landing to see the Albanian coastline near Durrës.
