Which side of the plane to sit from Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of views starting with Lake Garda and the Dolomites, followed by the Tatra Mountains in the distance and the winding Vistula River on approach.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is often visible shortly after departure, showcasing its distinct narrow northern fjord shape.
The Dolomites
Spectacular views of the UNESCO-listed jagged limestone peaks with their unique pale gray vertical walls.
Danube River
Glimpses of the famous blue river as it flows through the valleys of Lower Austria toward Vienna.
High Tatras
On clear days, the highest range of the Carpathians is visible on the horizon to the southeast.
Vistula River
The winding 'WisΕa' river serves as a guide during the descent, leading the plane toward the Warsaw region.
This is the 'scenic side' for the start and end of the flight. For late afternoon flights, you may witness the 'Enrosadira' (Alpenglow) effect on the Dolomites. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes for the Vistula meanders.
Orobie Alps
Dramatic mountain ridges and deep valleys immediately visible after taking off from Bergamo.
Central Alpine Chain
Expansive views of the high glaciers and snow-capped peaks along the Italian-Austrian border.
Bavarian Forest
Dense, dark green forest blankets covering the rolling border regions between Germany and Czechia.
Prague Environs
The outer sprawl and historic landscape of the Czech capital are often visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Mazovian Plains
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Poland characterized by colorful strip-field patterns.
Sit toward the front to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the Alps. Morning flights on this side avoid direct sun glare, making it easier to capture the high-contrast mountain terrain of the Austrian border.
