Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular panorama of the high Alps to the north and a direct view of the stunning Italian lakes and Bergamo's historic Upper Town during the descent.
Eastern Pyrenees
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy views of the rugged peaks marking the border between Spain and France.
Provence Landscapes
Fly over the rolling hills, vineyards, and lavender fields of southern France.
High Alps
A breathtaking sequence of snow-capped peaks as the route skims the southern edge of the Alpine range.
Lake Como
Look for the iconic Y-shape of one of Italy's most famous glacial lakes just before the final approach.
Bergamo Cittร Alta
The medieval walled city of Bergamo often appears clearly on the left during the final landing phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the mountains. The highlight is the transition from the French Provence to the Italian Alps; keep your camera ready as you cross the border. In winter, the snow cover on the mountains makes for extraordinary photography.
Costa Brava
Witness the dramatic cliffs and hidden turquoise coves of the Spanish coastline shortly after departure.
Gulf of Lion
Wide-angle views of the deep blue Mediterranean and the busy maritime traffic near Marseille.
Cote d'Azur
Catch glimpses of the glitzy French Riviera including the shorelines of Cannes, Nice, and Monaco.
Ligurian Coast
The rugged Italian coastline and the city of Genoa visible as you turn inland toward the Po Valley.
Po Valley
The vast, geometric agricultural plains of Northern Italy leading toward the base of the Alps.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to enjoy the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean Sea. Look south early in the flight to see the French coastline. This side is typically smoother for viewing during the cruise phase over the water, offering a serene maritime perspective.
