Berlin Metropolitan Area
Clear views of the city's sprawl and surrounding Brandenburg lakes immediately after takeoff from the south.
Zugspitze & Wetterstein
Germany's highest mountain is often visible to the west as the flight path moves south through Bavaria.
Lake Como
The iconic deep blue Y-shaped lake is a major highlight during the descent into the Lombardy region.
Città Alta
The medieval walled 'Upper Town' of Bergamo is frequently visible on the right during the final landing phase.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Alps. The descent into BGY is quite scenic, so have your camera ready as the plane drops altitude over the Italian pre-Alps. For the best view of the Zugspitze, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare.
