BGY → WAW
Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the majestic Dolomites and the central Alpine range shortly after takeoff, followed by a better angle of the Warsaw city center on the final approach.
The Dolomites
Spectacular aerial views of the jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the South Tyrol region.
Lake Iseo
A stunning view of the deep blue waters and Monte Isola shortly after departing from Bergamo.
Salzburg Hinterland
The picturesque rolling hills and lakes of the Salzkammergut region of Austria.
Brno Cityscape
A clear view of the historic center of the Czech Republic's second-largest city.
Warsaw Skyline
On many standard arrival paths, the left side provides the best view of the Palace of Culture and Science.
Opt for an early morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps perfectly. On the approach to Warsaw, the left side is generally better for seeing the city skyline if the plane lands from the south (Runway 33).
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is visible to the southeast during the initial climb out of Lombardy.
Grossglockner
The highest peak in Austria is often visible in the distance during the transit over the Eastern Alps.
Moravian Plains
The fertile, colorful agricultural patterns of the South Moravian region in the Czech Republic.
Silesian Industrial Area
The dense urban sprawl of Katowice and the historic industrial heartland of southern Poland.
Vistula River
The winding curves of Poland's longest river as it snakes towards the capital city.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunrise on early morning departures. During the winter months, the snow-covered Beskid Mountains on the Czech-Polish border are a highlight on this side.
