TFS β BGY
Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior sequence of coastal landmarks, including the Canary archipelago, the Strait of Gibraltar, the Balearic Islands, and the dramatic descent over the Italian lakes.
Canary Archipelago
Stunning views of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote as you head northeast toward Europe.
Strait of Gibraltar
The iconic maritime gateway where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea between Europe and Africa.
Costa del Sol
The sparkling beaches and coastal resorts of southern Spain's famous sunshine coast.
Balearic Islands
Clear views of Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca floating in the deep blue Mediterranean.
French Riviera
The glitzy coastline of the CΓ΄te d'Azur, including the Gulf of Lion and the surroundings of Marseille.
Italian Pre-Alps
Breathtaking views of the southern foothills of the Alps and Lake Como during the final approach into Bergamo.
This is the 'scenic' side for water lovers. Watch for the crossing into the Mediterranean; the contrast between the deep blue sea and the white Spanish coastlines is striking. During the descent into BGY, the right side often gets a spectacular view of the mountains surrounding Bergamo and the nearby Italian lakes.
Mount Teide
Spain's highest peak and the volcanic heart of Tenerife is visible immediately after takeoff on the left.
The Meseta
The high central plateau of Spain, offering a rugged and colorful landscape of red earth and ancient villages.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic snow-capped mountains forming the natural border between Spain and France.
Massif Central
An upland region of south-central France consisting of mountains and plateaus.
Milan Metropolitan Area
As the flight descends, the vast urban sprawl and skyscrapers of Italy's financial hub appear.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting Mount Teide right after departure from TFS. During winter months, the Pyrenees provide a spectacular white-peaked horizon that is best captured from this side.
