BGY β VNO
Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct and sustained view of the Central Alps' main ridge shortly after takeoff and provides an excellent perspective of the Polish capital, Warsaw, and the historic Trakai Castle during the descent.
Orobic Alps
Immediate views of the rugged peaks and deep valleys surrounding Bergamo and Lake Iseo right after takeoff.
Austrian High Alps
A magnificent panorama of the snow-capped Hohe Tauern range, including some of the highest glaciers in the region.
Brno Cityscape
Bird's-eye view of the historic Spilberk Castle and the urban layout of the Moravian capital in Czechia.
Warsaw Skyline
The dense cluster of skyscrapers in central Warsaw and the wide Vistula River are often clearly visible to the left.
Trakai Island Castle
During the final approach into Vilnius, look for the iconic red-brick medieval castle situated on an island in Lake GalvΔ.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over Central Europe. Shortly after departure from BGY, keep your camera ready for the transition from the Po Valley into the high mountains. If the flight path passes west of Warsaw, you will have a perfect view of the Palace of Culture and Science.
The Dolomites
Incredible views of the jagged limestone formations and Pale Mountains on the border of Italy and Austria.
Vienna & Danube
The sprawling Austrian capital and the winding Danube River are often visible to the southeast of the flight path.
High Tatra Mountains
The dramatic, rocky peaks marking the border between Slovakia and Poland appear on the distant horizon.
Masurian Lake District
A stunning mosaic of thousands of lakes in northeastern Poland, especially beautiful during the summer months.
Vilnius Old Town
Depending on the landing direction, this side offers a spectacular view of the church spires and red roofs of the historic center.
Choose the right side for morning flights to avoid the harsh sun and see the Dolomites in their best light. Watch for the change in landscape from the mountainous south to the flat, lake-dotted plains of the Baltics. During descent, look for the Neris River as it winds toward the Vilnius city center.
