BRE → CHQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Chania International Airport (Chania)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Adriatic coastline, the Ionian islands, and the dramatic White Mountains of Crete upon arrival.
Grossglockner View
Views of Austria's highest peak if the flight path tracks through central Europe.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of hundreds of Croatian islands set against the deep blue Adriatic.
Ionian Islands
Aerial perspectives of Corfu, Lefkada's white cliffs, and the turquoise bays of Kefalonia.
Lefka Ori (White Mountains)
The massive limestone peaks of western Crete that dominate the horizon during final approach.
The right side is perfect for afternoon flights to catch the golden hour over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Croatian coast, and look for the Corinth Canal if the pilot takes a slightly eastern detour.
Eastern Austrian Alps
Glacial peaks and high-altitude valleys of the Hohe Tauern range.
Balkan Wilderness
Dense forests and rugged, limestone topography of Bosnia and Montenegro.
Pindus Mountains
The dramatic 'spine of Greece' featuring deep gorges and remote mountain villages.
Akrotiri Peninsula
Arid landscapes and hidden monasteries visible just before touchdown at CHQ.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is ideal for spotting the rugged interior of the Balkan Peninsula and the sprawling urban layout of mainland Greek cities during the descent.
