DUB → BGY
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the North Wales coastline shortly after takeoff and provides an iconic view of Bergamo's historic 'Città Alta' on the final approach into BGY.
Dublin Bay & Howth
Clear views of the Irish coastline, the Bull Island, and the Howth Peninsula during the initial climb.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged mountains of North Wales are often visible as the flight crosses the Irish Sea toward England.
Greater London
Depending on the air traffic corridor, you can often spot the Thames and the distant London skyline.
Champagne Region
The geometric patterns of French vineyards around Reims and the Grand Est region.
The Central Alps
Dramatic vistas of the snow-capped Swiss and Italian peaks as the plane begins its descent.
Bergamo Città Alta
On final approach, the historic walled city on the hill provides a stunning welcome to Italy.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed photos of the Alps. The left side is particularly rewarding for morning flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountain peaks and the historic architecture of Bergamo during landing. On clear days, keep an eye out for Lake Como just before the final descent sequence begins.
Wicklow Mountains
Views of the 'Garden of Ireland' and the rolling granite peaks south of Dublin shortly after departure.
The English Channel
A clear view of the shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the French coast near Dieppe.
Paris Distant View
On southerly routes, the urban sprawl of Paris and occasionally the Eiffel Tower can be seen on the horizon.
Mont Blanc Massif
The highest peak in the Alps is often visible in the distance to the southwest during the mountain transit.
Aosta Valley
Deep glacial valleys and steep ridges of the Graian Alps as you enter Italian airspace.
Lombardy Plain
The vast, fertile agricultural heartland of Northern Italy stretched out before touchdown.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunset on evening flights. While the mountain views are spectacular, be aware that the sun will be directly on this side for most of the southbound journey, which can cause significant glare for photography. In winter, the low sun angle can make the Alpine shadows look incredibly dramatic from this side.
