Which side of the plane to sit from Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers a breathtaking perspective of the Hel Peninsula during departure, the jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites, and a stunning aerial view of Lake Garda just before descending into Bergamo.
Hel Peninsula
A unique 35km long sandbar separating the Bay of Gdańsk from the open Baltic Sea, visible shortly after takeoff.
Giant Mountains
The Karkonosze range on the Polish-Czech border, featuring Śnieżka peak, visible during the mid-flight cruise.
The Dolomites
Dramatic, pale, jagged peaks of the Italian Alps that provide some of Europe's most spectacular mountain scenery.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake, easily recognizable by its narrow northern fjord-like shape and wider southern basin.
Verona & Po Valley
The historic city of Verona and the sprawling, fertile plains of Northern Italy during the final descent stages.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion when photographing the Alps. Early morning flights are ideal as the sun rises in the east, beautifully illuminating the Dolomites and reflecting off the surface of Lake Garda. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best mountain views.
Gdańsk Shipyards
The historic industrial cranes and the Motława River winding through the old town of Gdańsk during departure.
Prague & Vltava
On clear days, the spires of the Czech capital and the winding Vltava river can be spotted to the west.
Central Alpine Range
Vast views of the high, snow-capped glaciated peaks of the Austrian and Swiss Alps in the distance.
Lake Iseo
The smaller, picturesque lake featuring Monte Isola, the largest lake island in Central Europe, seen just before landing.
Città Alta
The stunning Venetian walls and medieval towers of Bergamo's Upper City during the final approach into BGY.
The right side is perfect for capturing the sunset on evening flights, as the sun will be on this side of the aircraft. It also offers the iconic view of the medieval 'Upper City' (Città Alta) of Bergamo if the plane lands from the east, which is the most common landing direction.
