BGY → TMP
Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Tampere-Pirkkala Airport (Tampere)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Central Alps immediately after takeoff, followed by the dramatic transition from the German plains to the Baltic Sea and the unique archipelago of Southern Finland.
Central Alpine Range
Breathtaking views of the high glaciated peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps shortly after departure from Bergamo.
Munich and Bavaria
Clear views of the Bavarian capital and the rolling hills of Southern Germany as the flight heads north.
Baltic Sea Crossing
The flight leaves mainland Europe, offering views of the deep blue Baltic and potentially the Swedish island of Gotland.
Åland Islands
On the descent, you may spot the thousands of tiny islands making up the autonomous Finnish archipelago.
Southern Finnish Coast
Dense evergreen forests broken by granite outcrops as the plane prepares for its arrival in Tampere.
Book a window seat on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Baltic Sea. During winter months, look for sea ice formations along the Finnish coast. The initial 20 minutes of the flight are the most scenic for mountain lovers, so keep your camera ready right after takeoff from BGY.
The Dolomites
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Eastern Alps are visible to the east during the initial climb.
Central German Uplands
Views of the forested Harz mountains and historic cities like Berlin in the distance depending on the airway.
Baltic Gulf
Views across the Gulf of Riga and the Estonian coastline as the plane nears the Nordic region.
Finnish Lake District
A glimpse into the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes' with the intricate patterns of Lake Saimaa to the far east.
Tampere Isthmus
Views of Tampere's unique location tucked between Lake Näsijärvi and Lake Pyhäjärvi during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the vastness of the Finnish interior and the industrial heritage of Tampere upon landing. Keep an eye out for the Tammerkoski rapids flowing through the city center just before touchdown.
