Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides spectacular vistas of the Austrian Alps and a superior vantage point for the rugged Balkan coastline and Corfu's historic Old Town during the descent.
Amsterdam & Polders
Aerial views of the Dutch capital's canal rings and the geometric patterns of reclaimed land.
Austrian Alps
Stunning snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of islands and turquoise waters along the Croatian shoreline.
Bay of Kotor
The dramatic, fjord-like entrance to Montenegro's most famous coastal landmark.
Corfu Old Town
A close-up view of the Venetian fortresses and the historic center of Kerkyra just before touchdown.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Balkan Peninsula. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains and the Adriatic coast. During the final approach to Runway 34, the left side offers the best view of the Old Fortress and the city center.
Lower Rhine
The winding path of the Rhine River through the industrial and agricultural heart of Germany.
Swiss Alps
Distances views of the high Bernese Oberland peaks, including the Eiger and Jungfrau.
Adriatic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea and the distant Italian coastline.
Ionian Sea
Crystal clear waters transitioning from deep blue to emerald near the Greek islands.
Kanoni Lagoon
The iconic view of the Mouse Island (Pontikonisi) during the very short final approach over water.
The right side is ideal for capturing the 'water landing' sensation at CFU. The airport is famous for its short runway that begins almost at the water's edge in the Kanoni lagoon. For the best Alpine views without sun glare, choose the right side on afternoon flights heading south.
