Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most consistent lighting for photography when flying northwest, offering stunning views of the Corfu coastline, the high peaks of the Alps, and a beautiful approach over the Irish countryside and Wicklow Mountains.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Corfu Old Fortress

Immediate views of the historic Venetian fortifications and the Spianada square shortly after takeoff from Corfu.

🌊

The Ionian Sea

Expansive views of the turquoise waters as the flight crosses from Greece toward the Italian 'heel' of Puglia.

🏔️

Central Alpine Range

Breathtaking panoramas of the highest European peaks, including the Swiss and French Alps, often visible in mid-flight.

🗼

French Countryside

The patchwork fields of eastern France and the distant sprawl of the Paris basin depending on the specific airway.

🚢

English Channel

Crossing the busy shipping lanes between the European mainland and the southern coast of England.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

As the plane descends into Dublin, the lush green peaks and dark lakes of the Garden of Ireland appear.

For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or to your left; use the window shade to prevent glare during the Alpine crossing. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Irish coastline during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🇦🇱

Albanian Riviera

Rugged, mountainous coastal views of southern Albania immediately after departure from Kerkyra.

🇮🇹

Gargano Peninsula

The distinctive 'spur' of Italy's boot, jutting into the Adriatic Sea with its dense forests and white cliffs.

❄️

North Alpine Glaciers

Views of the north-facing glaciers and the deep valleys of the Austrian or German Alps.

🏰

Rhine River Valley

The winding path of one of Europe's most historic rivers, often visible as the plane crosses toward the UK.

🎡

London & Greater South East

On clear days, the vast urban sprawl of London and the Thames Estuary can be spotted to the north.

🍀

Dublin Bay & Howth

Stunning views of the Baily Lighthouse, Howth Head, and the crescent of Dublin Bay during the final approach.

Morning flights offer the best lighting on this side. During the approach to Dublin (Runway 28L/R), the right side often gets the iconic view of Howth Head and the city center. Be aware that the sun can be quite strong on this side during the middle of the flight.
