CAG → BGY
Which side of the plane to sit from Cagliari Elmas Airport (Cagliari) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Mediterranean scenery, the right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the Sardinian coastline, the Tuscan Archipelago, and the historic hilltop architecture of Bergamo during the descent.

Poetto Beach
Sardinia's iconic 8km stretch of sand is clearly visible during the initial climb out of Cagliari.
Tuscan Archipelago
Excellent views of Elba Island and the smaller islands of Pianosa and Gorgona dotting the horizon.
Cinque Terre
A glimpse of the famous rugged coastline of Liguria as the plane enters the Italian mainland.
Bergamo Città Alta
The stunning medieval hilltop city of Bergamo is often visible during the final approach into BGY.
Orobic Alps
The snow-capped foothills of the Alps provide a dramatic backdrop as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Choose the right side for morning flights to see the Tuscan islands bathed in light. During the final descent, look down for the Venetian Walls of Bergamo, which are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Be aware that seasonal haze in the Po Valley can sometimes obscure the ground, but the Alps usually remain visible above.
