MAN โ BGY
Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Left Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Alpine views, the Left Side wins for its incredible panoramic of Lake Como and the historic Bergamo Upper City during the final approach.
London & SE England
Aerial views of the sprawling London metropolis and the Thames Estuary shortly after departure.
English Channel
The narrowest part of the channel featuring busy shipping lanes and the White Cliffs of Dover/Calais.
Central Swiss Alps
Dramatic views of the Bernese Oberland peaks including the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau massifs.
Lake Como
A spectacular bird's-eye view of the Y-shaped lake and its luxury villas during the descent.
Bergamo Cittร Alta
The Venetian walls and medieval towers of Bergamo's historic upper city just moments before touchdown.
For the best experience, choose a seat toward the front or far rear to avoid wing obstruction. This side is particularly spectacular during evening flights as the sun sets behind the Alps to the west, illuminating the peaks in a pink hue. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent starts for the Lake Como transition.
Parisian Basin
Vast views of the French countryside and the distant skyline of Paris on clear days.
Jura Mountains
The limestone ridges and lush forests marking the border between France and Switzerland.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake with views of Geneva and the Jet d'Eau in the distance.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe standing prominently against the horizon to the southwest.
Aosta Valley
Deep, rugged glacial valleys surrounded by some of the highest massifs in the Italian Alps.
The right side is the 'sunny side' on this southbound route, making it excellent for bright, clear photography of the French Jura and Mont Blanc. During winter months, the snow-covered Aosta Valley is a major highlight. Aim for a window seat to spot the distinctive pyramid shape of the Matterhorn in the distance.
