WAW β BGY
Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Il Caravaggio International Airport (Bergamo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Warsaw skyline upon departure, spectacular vistas of the Tyrolean Alps, and a breathtaking approach over Lake Iseo and the historic hills of Bergamo.
Warsaw Skyline
If taking off to the north, enjoy a panoramic view of the Palace of Culture and Science and the city's modern skyscrapers.
Prague Region
The flight path often passes near the Czech capital, offering views of the Vltava River valley and Bohemian landscapes.
Tyrolean Alps
Spectacular overhead views of the rugged peaks around Innsbruck and the Zugspitze region near the German-Austrian border.
Lake Iseo
During the final approach into BGY, this side offers a stunning view of the deep blue waters and Monte Isola.
CittΓ Alta
A close-up view of Bergamo's medieval 'Upper Town' and its Venetian walls just moments before touchdown.
The right side is unbeatable for the descent into Bergamo. Request a window seat here for the best chance to see the Italian lakes. In the afternoon, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare during the Alpine crossing, so keep your window shade ready but stay alert for the stunning lake views near the end.
Tatra Mountains
Distant views of the highest range in the Carpathians visible on the southern horizon after crossing central Poland.
Danube River
The winding blue ribbon of the Danube near Vienna or Bratislava is often visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Hohe Tauern
Direct views of the Austrian Alps including the Grossglockner massif, featuring permanent glaciers and jagged peaks.
Milan Skyline
On a clear day during the final descent, the distant skyscrapers of Milan's Porta Nuova district can be seen to the southwest.
Po Valley
The expansive, fertile plains of Lombardy characterized by a patchwork of agricultural fields and industrial hubs.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and enjoy better lighting for photography over the Austrian Alps. This side is also excellent for seeing the sheer scale of the Alps as you transition from the plains of Central Europe into the mountainous heart of the continent.
