CRABGY

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Southern Carpathians at takeoff, followed by the majestic Julian Alps and an iconic aerial view of the Venetian Lagoon and Lake Garda during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏞️

Iron Gates

Early in the flight, look for the spectacular gorge on the Danube River where the Carpathians meet the Balkan Mountains.

🏙️

Belgrade Skyline

As you head west, the Serbian capital and the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers are often visible to the north.

🏔️

Julian Alps

Spectacular snow-capped peaks of Slovenia and Northeastern Italy, offering some of the best mountain scenery in Europe.

🎭

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the entire historic center of Venice and its surrounding islands are clearly visible as you enter Italian airspace.

💧

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake appears just minutes before landing, showcasing its deep blue waters and the Sirmione peninsula.

For the best experience, choose a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The descent into BGY often passes directly north of Venice; keep your camera ready approximately 30-40 minutes before landing. In winter, the Julian Alps provide incredible photo opportunities with heavy snow cover.

🏔️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, limestone peaks of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia provide a stark, beautiful landscape during the mid-flight segment.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coastline

Distant but visible views of the Adriatic's fractured coastline and the numerous islands of the Croatian archipelago.

🌊

Adriatic Sea Crossing

A vast expanse of deep blue as the flight transits from the Balkans toward the Italian peninsula.

🚜

Po Valley Agriculture

The intricate patchwork of fertile farmland and canals in Northern Italy during the final approach phase.

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the Adriatic. This side is typically quieter for glare, making it easier to spot the distant lights of coastal cities like Ancona or Ravenna if the flight is during dusk.
