BRU → JMK
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Mikonos Airport (Mykonos)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the Right Side is superior for its perspective of the Venetian Lagoon, the Corinth Canal, and the final descent over the historical islands of Delos and Rhenia.

Swiss Alps Panorama
Breathtaking views of the highest snow-capped peaks in Europe, including the Jungfrau region.
Venice & The Lagoon
On clear days, the distinctive fish-shape of Venice and the surrounding turquoise marshlands are clearly visible from high altitude.
The Peloponnese
Views of the rugged Greek peninsula and the narrow Corinth Canal cutting through the land.
Athens & Saronic Gulf
The sprawling white cityscape of Athens and the scattered islands of the Saronic Gulf as you turn toward Mykonos.
Delos & Rhenia
Just minutes before touchdown, look down for the sacred ruins of Delos and the crystal clear turquoise bays of Rhenia.
The right side offers the most iconic 'Greek Island' views. On the final approach into Mykonos (usually Runway 16), the right side provides a perfect view of the uninhabited sister islands. Afternoon flights on this side will experience significant sun glare, so bring sunglasses.

Ardennes & Luxembourg
Lush green rolling hills and deep valleys of southern Belgium and the Grand Duchy shortly after takeoff.
Austrian Alps
Glaciated peaks and jagged ridges of the Eastern Alps visible as you cross central Europe.
Dinaric Alps
The dramatic karst landscape and rugged mountain ranges of the Balkan Peninsula stretching through Croatia and Albania.
Aegean Horizon
The deep blue expanse of the northern Aegean Sea as you cross from the mainland toward the Cyclades.
Tinos Island
Excellent views of the neighboring island's rocky terrain and the famous Church of Panagia Evangelistria during the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to see the sunrise over the Balkans. This side is also excellent for spotting the mainland Greek coastline if the flight takes a more easterly route.
