BRE โ CFU
Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for this route as it offers the most direct views of the rugged Austrian Alps and the stunning, island-dotted coastline of Croatia and Montenegro, followed by a dramatic approach into Corfu.
Lรผneburg Heath
Aerial views of the vast nature reserves of Lower Saxony shortly after takeoff from Bremen.
High Tauern National Park
Glaciated peaks of the Austrian Alps, including views towards the Grossglockner massif.
Kornati Archipelago
A dense cluster of hundreds of uninhabited islands and reefs along the Croatian coast.
Bay of Kotor
The winding, fjord-like bay of Montenegro surrounded by steep limestone cliffs.
Corfu Old Town
A spectacular view of the UNESCO-listed Venetian fortress and the Spianada during the final approach.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The sun will be on the right side of the aircraft for most of the flight if traveling in the afternoon, meaning the left side will have perfect lighting for photography of the Balkan coastline. Watch for the 'Pontikonisi' (Mouse Island) just seconds before touchdown.
Dolomite Mountains
The distinct jagged peaks of the Italian Dolomites visible in the distance to the south of the Alps.
Venice and the Lagoon
On clear days, the unmistakable shape of the Venetian lagoon is visible across the Adriatic.
Adriatic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea stretching toward the Italian coastline.
Paxos and Antipaxos
The turquoise waters and white cliffs of these small islands south of Corfu during the descent.
Paleokastritsa Bay
The famous clover-shaped bays of western Corfu as the plane maneuvers for landing.
The right side is ideal if you prefer watching the sunset over the Ionian Sea during evening arrivals. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the turquoise clarity of the water around Paxos. However, be aware that the sun may cause significant glare during midday and afternoon flights, making it harder to see details on the ground.
