Which side of the plane to sit from Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is favored for its spectacular views of the highest Alpine peaks, including Mont Blanc, and a superior vantage point for the UK capital and the Lake Geneva region.
Peak District
The rugged moorlands and plateaus of Northern England shortly after departure from Leeds.
Greater London
A sprawling view of the UK capital's cityscape if the flight path tracks slightly west.
Lake Geneva
The vast, crescent-shaped expanse of Lac Leman bordering Switzerland and France.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe, offering a majestic snow-capped sight during the Alpine crossing.
Milan Skyline
The modern skyscrapers of Milan's Porta Nuova district visible as you begin the final descent.
For the most dramatic mountain views, the right side is essential. Keep your camera ready approximately 60-75 minutes into the flight for the high Alps. Late afternoon flights offer incredible 'golden hour' lighting on the snow-capped peaks of the Mont Blanc massif.
White Cliffs of Dover
The iconic chalky coastline of Kent as the flight crosses the English Channel.
Champagne Region
The geometric patterns of the famous French vineyards around Reims and Epernay.
Swiss Alps
The high peaks of the Bernese Oberland visible in the far distance across the French border.
Lake Iseo
A stunning Italian lake featuring Monte Isola, visible during the descent into Lombardy.
Bergamo Citta Alta
The historic walled upper city of Bergamo often appears during the final approach path.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the final descent into BGY, sit here for the best views of the historic Venetian walls of Bergamo's old town and the rolling hills of the Franciacorta wine region.
