Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Vienna to Bergamo. Right seats capture the Danube and Alpine foothills during departure, then offer continuous views of the Alpine chain as it transitions from Austrian to Italian peaks during the cruise phase. The approach to Bergamo favors left seats, but the longer departure and midpoint segments from the right side provide more dramatic geography overall.

During takeoff from Schwechat (VIE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Vienna typically departs eastbound (Runway 11L/11R) or westbound (Runway 29L/29R). Rightward seats offer views of the Danube River curving through Vienna's northern districts during initial climb, plus the Alpine foothills rising to the south and southwest as you gain altitude. Notable sights include: Danube River (Donau) winding through Vienna, Vienna Woods (Wienerwald) to the southwest, Alpine foothills of Lower Austria, Neusiedl Lake visible to the east on clear days.

When landing at Bergamo Orio Al Serio (BGY), sit on the Left side for the best views. Bergamo typically lands on Runway 10L/10R (eastbound) or 28L/28R (westbound). Left seats during descent offer views of the Bergamo Alps and Orobian Mountains to the north and east, plus the Po River Valley floor spreading beneath you as you descend into the Lombardy plain. Notable sights include: Orobian Alps (Alpi Orobie) to the north, Po River Valley floor, Lake Iseo to the northwest, Bergamo's hilltop old town (Città Alta) visible just before landing.
