CFU β CGN
Which side of the plane to sit from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu) to Cologne Bonn Airport (Cologne)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic view of the rugged Balkan coastline, the emerald islands of Croatia, and a direct path over the highest peaks of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps.
Northern Corfu Cliffs
Dramatic views of Sidari and the Cape Drastis rock formations immediately after takeoff.
Ceraunian Mountains
The steep coastal mountains of Albania meeting the turquoise Ionian waters.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of Croatian islands including Hvar, BraΔ, and the Kornati National Park.
Alpine Spine
Direct traversal over the Austrian Alps, providing views of snow-capped peaks and turquoise glacial lakes.
Munich & Allianz Arena
The Bavarian capital's sprawl and its iconic glowing white football stadium are often visible to the North.
Cologne Cathedral
Depending on the wind direction, a right-side seat may offer a distant glimpse of the Dom's twin spires during the approach.
The right side is superior for geography lovers. For the best photography of the Alps, choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Balkan coast without the sun glaring directly into your window.
Adriatic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea and the distant silhouette of Italy's Gargano Peninsula.
Swiss Alps Vistas
On clear days, the western horizon reveals the high-altitude glaciers of the Swiss and French Alps.
Middle Rhine Valley
As you descend into Cologne, view the winding Rhine River and its famous hilltop castles.
Bonn Cityscape
A close-up look at the former German capital and the Post Tower shortly before touchdown.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the sea. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your eyes peeled for the Drachenfels ruins and the expansive Rhine river bends as the plane aligns with CGN runways.
