Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it offers a front-row seat to the stunning French Riviera coastline, the rugged Southern Alps, and a spectacular aerial view of Bergamo's historic walled city during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Ibiza and Formentera

Panoramic views of the white sands and turquoise waters of the Balearic Islands during the initial climb.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

Cรดte d'Azur

Clear views of the French coastline, including the glamorous cities of Cannes, Nice, and the Principality of Monaco.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Maritime Alps

Dramatic transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alpine range.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lombardy Lake District

Stunning glimpses of Lake Como or Lake Iseo depending on the specific approach pattern into Bergamo.

๐Ÿฐ

Bergamo Cittร  Alta

Unrivaled views of the ancient Venetian walls and medieval towers of Bergamo's Upper Town on final approach.

Choose the left side for better lighting during afternoon flights, as you will be facing away from the direct southern sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 15 minutes of the flight when the plane maneuvers over the Italian foothills. Keep your camera ready as you cross the French-Italian border for the best mountain contrasts.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
๐ŸŒŠ

Mediterranean Expanse

Vast blue horizons with the faint silhouettes of Corsica and Sardinia visible on the distant horizon.

โ›ต

Gulf of Genoa

A high-altitude perspective of the Ligurian Sea and the major industrial port of Genoa.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Northern Apennines

The rolling ridges of the Apennine Mountains separating the coast from the northern plains.

๐Ÿšœ

Po Valley

The distinctive geometric patchwork of Lombardy's agricultural heartland as the flight nears its destination.

The right side is best for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Mediterranean. While it offers fewer landmark coastal features than the left, it provides a sense of the scale of the Italian peninsula. Be prepared for high glare during midday flights as the sun will be positioned directly to the south.
