Which side of the plane to sit from Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Palermo) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Italian coastline, including the Tuscan archipelago and a stunning approach over the Prealps and Bergamo's historic upper city.
Mount Etna
The smoking peak of Europe's most active volcano can often be seen looking back south-east shortly after departure.
Elba Island
The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for its rugged coastline and history as Napoleon's place of exile.
Tuscan Coastline
Excellent views of the Versilia coast and the major port of Livorno as the plane heads north.
Northern Apennines
Dramatic views as the aircraft crosses the mountain range that separates Tuscany from the Emilia-Romagna region.
Bergamo Alta
A spectacular view of the medieval 'Upper Town' and its historic Venetian walls during the final approach.
This side is ideal for tracking the Italian mainland and coastal geography. Early morning flights are best as the sun illuminates the coastline from the east. Ensure you look out during the final three minutes of flight for a front-row view of Bergamo's historic center.
Isola delle Femmine
Visible immediately after takeoff from PMO as the plane climbs over the Sicilian coastline.
Tyrrhenian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water during the central portion of the flight across the Mediterranean.
Corsica Peaks
On clear days, the rugged, often snow-capped mountains of the French island are visible to the far west.
Milan Skyline
The distant skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova district can often be spotted on the horizon during the descent.
Po Valley
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and canals typical of northern Italy's fertile plains.
Sit here for a chance to see Corsica's peaks in winter. Late afternoon flights offer golden hour lighting over the open sea. During descent, look for the distant outline of the Western Alps and the Monviso peak on the far horizon.
