Which side of the plane to sit from Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular panoramic journey across the spine of the Alps, including the Carpathians, the Julian Alps, and the Dolomites, ending with a magnificent view of the Italian lakes during the descent.
Făgăraș Mountains
Early in the flight, witness the highest peaks of the Southern Carpathians, often snow-capped well into spring.
Lake Balaton
Look north to see Central Europe's largest lake, appearing as a long, slender ribbon of emerald green water.
Julian Alps
Fly past the jagged limestone peaks of Slovenia, featuring the iconic Mount Triglav.
The Dolomites
A highlight of the route, offering views of the UNESCO-listed pale peaks and deep valleys of North-Eastern Italy.
Lake Garda & Lake Iseo
During the descent into Bergamo, you will fly directly past these stunning alpine lakes nestled in the mountains.
The right side is significantly more scenic for mountain lovers. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to capture the transition from the Pannonian Plain to the dramatic Dolomites. On afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, providing perfect lighting for photos of the mountain ranges and Lake Garda.
Iron Gates of the Danube
Watch the dramatic narrowing of the Danube River as it cuts through the border between Romania and Serbia.
Belgrade Cityscape
A clear view of the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at the heart of the Serbian capital.
Dalmatian Coastline
Depending on the flight path, enjoy distant views of the sparkling turquoise waters and islands of the Croatian Adriatic.
Venetian Lagoon
As you enter Italian airspace, you may spot the unique shape of the Venetian islands and the surrounding salt marshes to the south.
Po Valley Agriculture
A sprawling patchwork of perfectly geometric farmlands stretching across Northern Italy's fertile plains.
On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, which may cause significant glare. This side is better if you prefer seeing the vastness of the Po Valley and the distant shimmer of the Adriatic Sea. During the final approach into BGY, you might see the lower hills of the Apennines far to the south.
