NRN β BGY
Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular progression from the winding Rhine and the Black Forest to the high Swiss Alps, culminating in a breathtaking view of Lake Como during the descent into Bergamo.
Rhine River Bend
Follow the meandering silver ribbon of the Rhine as it flows through the German heartland.
Black Forest
Dense, dark coniferous forests of Southwest Germany stretching toward the Swiss border.
Swiss High Alps
Uninterrupted views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks in the distance.
Lake Como
The iconic Y-shaped Italian lake, known for its deep blue waters and luxury villas, visible during descent.
Milan Skyline
On clear days, the skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova district are visible to the south before landing.
The right side is superior for alpine scenery, specifically the transition from the Black Forest into the high peaks. For the best views of Lake Como, ensure you are seated behind the wing. Afternoon flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. Seasonal tip: winter flights provide the most dramatic contrast with snow-covered peaks.
Rhine-Ruhr Metro
Aerial perspective of Germany's most densely populated industrial region shortly after takeoff.
Siebengebirge
The dramatic volcanic hills near Bonn, featuring the famous Drachenfels peak.
Lake Constance
A massive expanse of water marking the border between Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Bernina Range
Glaciated peaks of the Eastern Alps, including Piz Bernina, the highest summit in the region.
CittΓ Alta
The stunning medieval walled city of Bergamo visible during the final approach into BGY.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the Rhine. This side provides a clearer view of the historic 'Upper Town' of Bergamo if the flight approaches from the west. Keep your camera ready as you pass over Lake Constance for wide-angle landscape shots.
