Which side of the plane to sit from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Balkan coastline and the most rugged sections of the Alps before descending into the lowlands of Northern Europe.
Corfu Old Town
Immediate views of the Venetian fortresses and the historic center of Kerkyra after departure.
Dalmatian Coast
Spectacular views of the Croatian islands and the walled city of Dubrovnik as you track north.
Eastern Alps
A breathtaking crossing over the jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites and the Austrian massifs.
Rhine Valley
The winding river and dense vineyard regions of Southern Germany and Eastern France.
The Ardennes
Rolling hills and thick forests that mark the transition from France into the Belgian borderlands.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Adriatic Sea. About 50-70 minutes after takeoff, the Alpine crossing begins; keep your window shade up for the highest peaks. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos to cut through the atmospheric haze over the Mediterranean.
Ionian Sea
Deep turquoise waters and distant silhouettes of the Diapontia Islands shortly after takeoff.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days and specific flight paths, the distinct shape of Venice can be seen in the distance.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the Bodensee where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.
Brussels Approach
Detailed views of the Belgian suburbs and potentially the Atomium during the final descent.
The right side is best for avoiding direct glare from the sun during afternoon flights. It offers a more expansive view of the Swiss Alpine peaks in the distance. During the final approach into Brussels, this side often provides a clearer view of the airport infrastructure and surrounding Flemish countryside.
