Which side of the plane to sit from M. R. Štefánik Airport (Bratislava) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic perspective of the Alpine spine, including the highest peaks of Austria and the iconic jagged profiles of the Dolomites before descending into the Lombardy region.

Vienna Woods
The green lungs of Vienna are clearly visible on the right during the initial climb out of Bratislava.
High Tauern National Park
Home to the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak, providing a spectacular snowy backdrop mid-flight.
The Dolomites
The unmistakable pale, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Dolomites offer some of the best mountain views in Europe.
Lake Iseo
Just before landing at BGY, look down for the steep-sided Lake Iseo and the large island of Monte Isola in its center.
The right side is significantly more scenic for mountain lovers. During winter months, the snow-covered peaks of the Dolomites are a highlight. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses, but the sunset over the Alps during evening flights is unbeatable.

Vienna Cityscape
If the flight path tracks slightly south, you can spot the sprawling city of Vienna and the Danube river shortly after departure.
Styrian Alps
Vast stretches of the eastern Austrian Alps, including the distinctive peaks around the Semmering Pass.
Villach & Carinthia
Aerial views of the southern Austrian lake district and the city of Villach near the Slovenian border.
Lake Garda
As the plane approaches Bergamo, you will see the massive expanse of Italy's largest lake to the south.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and to catch glimpses of the Venetian plains. It is the better side if you want to see the transition from the high mountains to the flat Po Valley as you approach Lombardy.
