Which side of the plane to sit from Lübeck Blankensee Airport (Luebeck) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Alpine views, the Right Side is superior for its proximity to Lake Constance and the iconic Y-shaped Lake Como during the final approach into Bergamo.
Harz Mountains
The Brocken peak and the northernmost mountain range in Germany.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
The massive lake where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria converge.
Swiss-Austrian Alps
A continuous panoramic view of glacier-capped peaks and deep valleys.
Lake Como
A spectacular bird's-eye view of the world-famous lake just minutes before landing.
Bergamo Città Alta
The historic walled upper city of Bergamo is often visible on the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun begins to set in the west, illuminating the Alps. The transition from the flat Bodensee to the high Alps is dramatic. The highlight is the view of Lake Como; ensure your camera is ready about 15 minutes before landing. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the lakes.
Elbe River Valley
The winding Elbe River cutting through the North German Plain shortly after departure.
Thuringian Forest
Dense, dark green mountain ridges appearing in Central Germany.
Nuremberg
A clear view of the historic Franconian city and its distinct urban layout.
Zugspitze & Bavarian Alps
Germany's highest peak stands out as you cross the border into the Alpine region.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is visible to the east during the descent into the Lombardy region.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting on the Bavarian Alps. This side is particularly rewarding for spotting the Zugspitze and the jagged peaks of the Dolomites in the distance as you enter Italian airspace. Keep an eye out for the deep blue of Lake Garda as the plane banks for its final approach.
