Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning panorama of the Adriatic Sea, the high Swiss and Austrian Alps, and a perfect view of Lake Constance and the Rhine river during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Adriatic Horizon

Expansive views of the turquoise Adriatic Sea and the distant Italian coastline on clear days.

🏔️

Swiss-Austrian Alps

Aerial crossing of the snow-capped Central Alps, featuring dramatic glaciers and jagged peaks.

💧

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

The massive blue expanse where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, visible just before the northern descent.

🏰

Rhine Valley

A view of the winding Rhine River and its historic hillside castles as the plane heads toward North Rhine-Westphalia.

🗼

Cologne Panorama

Excellent views of the Cologne Cathedral and the Hohenzollern Bridge if the flight path follows the Rhine north.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. About 60-70 minutes into the flight, keep your camera ready for the transition from the Mediterranean climate to the snowy alpine peaks. During the final 20 minutes, watch for the distinctive 'U' shape of the Rhine river.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🇬🇷

Corfu Old Town

Immediate views of the Venetian fortresses and the historic center of Kerkyra upon takeoff from Runway 34.

🇦🇱

Balkan Coastline

Rugged cliffs and hidden beaches along the coast of Albania and Montenegro shortly after departure.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The stark, karst mountain landscapes of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia stretching inland.

🚠

Austrian Summits

Views of the Hohe Tauern mountain range and potentially the Grossglockner peak in the distance.

🏢

Frankfurt Skyline

Distant views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers as the flight enters central German airspace.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights as the sun sets in the west. It provides the best view of Corfu's airport lagoon (one of Europe's most famous approaches) immediately after rotation. Look for the transition from the dry Balkan mountains to the lush green forests of Southern Germany.
