BRS → CFU
Which side of the plane to sit from Bristol Airport (Bristol) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the High Alps and a breathtaking perspective of the Adriatic coastline and Venice before descending into Corfu.
English Channel
Clear views of the crossing from the South Coast of England towards the northern coast of France.
Central Alps
Dramatic snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight path crosses over Switzerland or Eastern France.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be seen along the Adriatic coast.
Adriatic Coastline
A long stretch of turquoise water and coastal towns along the Italian and Balkan shores.
Ceraunian Mountains
The rugged, mountainous coastline of Southern Albania just before entering Greek airspace.
For morning flights, the left side is shaded, providing better visibility without sun glare. Watch for the transition from the jagged Alps to the flat Po Valley. As you approach Corfu, the left side provides views of the Greek mainland and the narrow strait separating the island from Albania.
Parisian Basin
Expansive views of the French countryside and the outer sprawl of the Paris region.
Jura Mountains
Beautiful forested ridges and valleys along the border of France and Switzerland.
Italian Apennines
The rugged spine of Italy stretching southwards, visible while transiting toward the Ionian Sea.
Ionian Sea
Deep cobalt blue waters and the occasional sight of distant ferry tracks.
Corfu Coastline
Excellent views of the island's western beaches and lush green interior during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on evening flights. During the final descent into CFU, passengers on the right often get a spectacular view of the 'Mouse Island' (Pontikonisi) and the Kanoni peninsula, as the runway is famously close to the water.
