🌲

Mazovian Lowlands

Expansive green landscapes and meandering rivers across central Poland.

πŸ’Ž

Salzkammergut

The stunning turquoise waters of the Austrian Lake District south of Salzburg.

πŸ”οΈ

Central Alps

Dense clusters of high-altitude peaks and glaciers during the mid-flight cruise.

❄️

Ortler Range

Rugged glacial terrain in the South Tyrol region of Italy.

πŸ’§

Lake Iseo

The dramatic 'S' shaped lake featuring Monte Isola, visible just before landing.

🏰

CittΓ  Alta

The fortified medieval upper town of Bergamo during the final approach.

The right side is unbeatable for the approach into BGY. The plane often banks over Lake Iseo, providing a bird's-eye view of the lake's islands. In summer, the late afternoon sun illuminates the Alps beautifully. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountain valleys.

Sharp, rocky peaks marking the border between Poland and Slovakia.

❄️

Eastern Alps

Panoramic views of the Austrian limestone massifs and high-altitude valleys.

Po Valley

The transition from the mountains to the flat, fertile plains of Lombardy.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the Tatras. Watch for the city lights of Vienna if flying at night; the city grid and Danube are clearly visible. In winter, look for the snow-line transition as you move from Poland into the Alps.
