Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the Right Side provides a superior angle for the iconic Lake Como and the Swiss-Italian lake district during the final descent into Bergamo.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Kattegat Coastline

Beautiful views of the Swedish west coast archipelago and the sandy Danish beaches of Zealand.

⚓

Hamburg & Elbe

Look for one of Europe's largest ports and the distinctive Elbphilharmonie building if the route crosses Northern Germany.

❄️

Bernina Range

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Swiss giants and massive glaciers as you cross the high Alps.

💧

Lake Como

The unmistakable Y-shaped sapphire lake and its luxury villas are a highlight of the northern Italian descent.

🏎️

Monza Circuit

On clear days, the legendary Formula 1 track can be spotted in the parklands north of Milan during the approach.

The right side is unbeatable for evening flights, offering spectacular 'Golden Hour' lighting over the Swiss Alps and Lake Como. For the best photos of the steep descent into BGY, sit several rows behind the wing to keep the engine out of your landscape shots.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Gothenburg Cityscape

Aerial views of the Volvo heartland and the Göta älv river winding through the city shortly after takeoff.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

The massive engineering marvel connecting Malmö and Copenhagen is often visible as you cross the Baltic entrance.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

High-altitude views of the jagged peaks and deep valleys of the Tyrol region during the trans-European crossing.

🍇

Franciacorta Vineyards

The rolling green hills of Italy's premier sparkling wine region appear just as the plane levels for landing.

🏘️

Città Alta

A glimpse of Bergamo's historic medieval walled city perched on the hill just before touchdown.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while crossing central Europe. This side is also better for spotting the Øresund Bridge if the flight path tracks slightly eastward over the Baltic coast.
