Which side of the plane to sit from Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (Tirana) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer coastal views, the right side provides a superior vantage point of the Croatian islands, the Venetian lagoon, and the stunning Alpine lakes just before landing at Bergamo.
Search flights from TIA to BGY
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of white limestone islands and crystal blue waters along the Croatian coast.
Venetian Lagoon
The iconic 'S' shape of the Grand Canal and the cluster of islands in the lagoon are often visible on the northern approach.
Southern Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Dolomites and the Rhaetian Alps as the plane aligns for Bergamo.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake featuring the thin Sirmione peninsula and its fjord-like northern reaches.
Lake Iseo
The emerald waters of Lake Iseo and Monte Isola are visible just minutes before touchdown at BGY airport.
Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Croatian islands. Keep your camera ready 15-20 minutes before landing; the transition from the flat Venetian plains to the dramatic Alpine foothills is sudden and spectacular. The right side is essential for seeing the major Italian lakes.

Durrës Coast
Panoramic views of Albania's primary port city and its long sandy beaches shortly after takeoff.
San Marino
The distinct limestone peaks of Monte Titano, home to the world's oldest republic, rise above the Italian hills.
Bologna
Extensive views of the historical red-roofed urban center and the industrial heartland of the Emilia-Romagna region.
Po Valley Plains
Structured agricultural mosaics and the winding Po River system visible during the mid-flight descent phase.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun while viewing the Italian coastline. Watch for the 'three towers' of San Marino about 40 minutes into the flight. On clear days, the distant Apennine Mountains provide a scenic backdrop to the flat Po Valley plains.
