Which side of the plane to sit from Belfast International Airport (Belfast) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the European Alps, the stunning turquoise waters of the Adriatic, and a magnificent aerial tour of the Greek Islands before descending into Cyprus.
The Alps
Breath-taking vistas of the Swiss and Austrian Alps, featuring jagged peaks and glacial valleys.
Adriatic Coastline
The crystal-clear waters and white-stone islands of the Croatian coast are often visible mid-flight.
Aegean Archipelago
A spectacular sequence of Greek islands including Rhodes and the Cyclades scattered across the deep blue sea.
Larnaca Salt Lake
On final approach, you can often see the large salt lake and the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque near the airport.
Limassol Port
Views of the busy shipping lanes and the southern industrial coastline of Cyprus during the descent.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views. This side is especially rewarding during daytime flights for capturing the contrast between the alpine snow and the Mediterranean blue. During descent, look for the Akrotiri Peninsula.
London & Thames Estuary
Clear views of the sprawling Greater London area and the winding River Thames shortly after departure.
Central European Cities
Bird's-eye views of major hubs like Frankfurt or Munich, depending on the specific air corridor.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged, snow-capped peaks of Southern Turkey visible as the flight transitions toward the Mediterranean.
Northern Cyprus Coast
The dramatic Pentadaktylos mountain range and the northern shoreline as you begin your descent.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the Anatolian Plateau's unique colors during the latter third of the journey.
