Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks on this route, including a direct view of Lake Constance and the breathtaking descent past the shores of Lake Como.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🛶

Weser River

Follow the meandering path of the Weser as it flows through the rolling hills of Lower Saxony.

🌊

Lake Constance

A massive turquoise expanse bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, clearly visible from cruising altitude.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Spectacular views of high-altitude glaciers and the snow-capped giants of the Bernese Oberland.

💎

Lake Como

The famous Y-shaped lake appears on the right side during the final descent into BGY.

🏙️

Milan Skyline

On clear days, the skyscrapers of Milan are visible in the distance shortly before landing.

The right side is essential for seeing the most dramatic Alpine peaks. For the best photography of Lake Como, ensure you are sitting behind the wing to avoid engine glare. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Italian lakes.

Left Side Highlights

🏙️

Bremen City Center

Excellent views of the Weser stadium and the winding river immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

Dramatic views of the Tyrolean peaks and the rugged Zugspitze massif to the south.

⛰️

The Dolomites

The distinctive jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Dolomites are visible to the east during descent.

🌊

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake is often visible on the horizon as the aircraft maneuvers toward Bergamo.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the German plains. During the winter months, look for the brightly lit ski resorts in the Austrian Alps as you cross into Italy.
