SUF β BGY
Which side of the plane to sit from Lamezia Terme Airport (Lamezia) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Tyrrhenian coastline, the volcanic Aeolian Islands in the distance, and the dramatic transition into the Lombardy Prealps.
Aeolian Islands
On clear days, see the distinct volcanic silhouettes of Stromboli and Vulcano rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Calabrian Coastline
Aerial views of the 'Coast of the Gods' with its turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs near Tropea.
Tuscan Archipelago
Spot the islands of Elba and Giglio as the flight path parallels the western coast of Italy.
Ligurian Apennines
Watch the landscape shift from sea to the rugged, forested ridges of the northern mountain ranges.
Milan Skyline
During the descent into Bergamo, look west to see the skyscrapers of Milan rising from the Po Valley.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the coastline without the sun's glare, which will be on the opposite side. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from SUF for the best island views.
Sila National Park
View the deep green forests and plateaus of the Calabrian interior immediately after departure.
Rome & Lazio
Catch a distant glimpse of the Eternal City and the volcanic lakes of Bracciano and Bolsena.
Tuscan Countryside
Observe the classic rolling hills and agricultural patterns of the heart of Italy.
Bergamo CittΓ Alta
As the plane banks for landing at BGY, you get a direct view of the medieval walled upper city.
The right side is excellent for sunset flights, as the sun dips into the sea on the left, casting a golden glow over the Apennine Mountains. On the final approach to BGY, this side typically provides the best view of Bergamo's historic architecture.
