LPP β BGY
Which side of the plane to sit from Lappeenranta Airport (Lappeenranta) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the right side is generally preferred for its perspective of the high Austrian peaks and the spectacular views of Lake Garda and Lake Como during the descent into Bergamo.
Gulf of Finland
Expansive views of the maritime routes and the open water separating Finland from Central Europe.
Tyrolian Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped high peaks of the Austrian Alps near the Innsbruck corridor.
Lake Garda
See the massive expanse of Italy's largest lake, often visible to the west during the descent phase.
Lake Como
Look for the iconic Y-shape of Lake Como nestled against the Prealpine foothills just before landing.
Bergamo CittΓ Alta
The historic, walled upper city of Bergamo is often visible on the final approach into BGY airport.
The right side is the 'scenic winner' for the Italian Lakes. Ensure you are seated behind the wing for the best photos of Lake Como and Lake Garda. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the alpine panoramas.
Lake Saimaa System
Immediately after takeoff, witness the intricate labyrinth of islands and waterways of Finland's largest lake.
Baltic Coastline
Catch glimpses of the Estonian and Latvian coastlines as the flight heads south over the Baltic Sea.
Dolomite Massifs
Observe the distinctive, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Dolomites as you cross the border from Austria.
Po Valley Sprawl
The expansive industrial and agricultural heartland of Northern Italy unfolds during the descent.
Eastern Bergamo
Views of the suburban landscape and the foothills of the Alps on the approach to Orio al Serio.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers a superior view of the unique geological formations of the Dolomites and the Finnish lake district during departure.
