Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Balearic coastline upon departure and a spectacular look at the French and Italian Rivieras before descending into the Lombardy region.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Dramatic views of Mallorca's UNESCO-listed mountain range immediately after takeoff from Palma.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Expansive views across the deep blue Mediterranean as the flight tracks toward mainland Europe.

🏖️

French Riviera

Stunning vistas of the Côte d'Azur, including the areas around Nice and Monaco, depending on the airway.

🏔️

Maritime Alps

Snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps visible as the plane crosses from France into Italy.

🏙️

Milan Skyline

On clear days during the descent, the skyscrapers of Milan are often visible in the distance to the west.

Sit on the left for the best morning light, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is also preferred for seeing the rugged coastline of the French-Italian border. Choose a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed photos of the Tramuntana mountains.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏝️

Menorca

Aerial view of the quieter Balearic neighbor, Menorca, shortly after departure.

🗺️

Corsica & Sardinia

On the horizon, the mountainous silhouettes of these major Mediterranean islands are often visible.

⛵

Ligurian Coast

Views of the Italian coastline near La Spezia and the Cinque Terre region during the initial descent.

🚜

Po Valley

The geometric patterns of Italy's most fertile agricultural heartland as you approach Bergamo.

🏰

Città Alta

A close-up view of Bergamo's historic medieval 'Upper Town' just moments before touching down at BGY.

The right side is excellent for spotting the silhouette of Corsica and the vastness of the Po Valley. During the final approach into BGY, this side often gets a fantastic view of the ancient walls of Bergamo's Città Alta if the plane approaches from the east.
