Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the Central Alps, Lake Constance, and a spectacular close-up view of the Italian glacial lakes during the descent into Bergamo.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏰

Prague Cityscape

A clear view of the Vltava river and the historical spires of the Czech capital.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, clearly visible from cruising altitude.

🏔️

Bernese Oberland

High-altitude views of the iconic Swiss Alpine peaks to the west.

🏞️

Lake Como & Lecco

Breath-taking views of the Y-shaped glacial lakes just minutes before landing at BGY.

🏟️

Upper Bergamo

The historic 'Città Alta' fortified walls are often visible during the final turn to the runway.

This side is essential for the best Alpine views. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, stay alert for Lake Como—it is the highlight of the trip. In winter, the snow-covered Alps on this side are exceptionally photogenic during sunset flights.

🏙️

Warsaw Basin

View of the Vistula River and the outskirts of the Polish capital shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Giant Mountains

The Karkonosze range on the Polish-Czech border, featuring Śnieżka peak.

🏔️

High Tauern

Stunning views of the Austrian Central Alps, including glacier-capped peaks in the distance.

🌊

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake can often be spotted to the southeast during the initial descent phase.

Choose this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. Keep a lookout for the distant jagged peaks of the Dolomites as you cross into Italian airspace.
