Which side of the plane to sit from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu) to Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional sequence of geographic landmarks, including the stunning Dalmatian coast of Croatia, the rugged Dolomites and Austrian Alps, and the iconic approach over the Firth of Forth into Edinburgh.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the thousands of Croatian islands, including Hvar and BraΔ, and the limestone mountains of the Balkans.
The Dolomites
Dramatic views of the jagged, pale peaks of the Italian and Austrian Alps, one of the most scenic mountain crossings in Europe.
The Rhine Valley
Aerial perspective of the winding Rhine River and its industrial heartland as the flight transits over Germany and the Low Countries.
Northumberland Coast
Stunning views of Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island (Lindisfarne) as the flight reaches the northeast coast of England.
Firth of Forth & Edinburgh
The ultimate highlight: a views of the Forth Bridges and the Edinburgh city skyline, including the Castle and Arthur's Seat, during the final approach.
The right side is highly recommended for the approach into Edinburgh, which often loops over the Firth of Forth. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Balkan coastline and the Alps without looking into the sun. Watch for the famous red Forth Bridge about 5 minutes before touchdown.
Corfu Old Town
Immediate views of the Venetian fortresses and the historic UNESCO World Heritage town center upon departure from Runway 34.
Italian Adriatic Coast
Distant but clear views of the eastern Italian shoreline and the Gargano Peninsula across the turquoise waters.
Western Alpine Peaks
Panoramic views of the high peaks of Switzerland and eastern France, often including glaciated valleys.
Lake District
As the plane descends over Northern England, the fells and lakes of Cumbria are frequently visible to the west.
Southern Uplands
The rolling green hills and moorlands of the Scottish Borders as the aircraft crosses the border from England.
Choose the left side for better views of the Corfu coastline during takeoff. If flying during the late afternoon, this side will experience direct sunlight, so keep the window shade partially down for glare. This side is also superior for viewing the Lake District during the descent if the flight path is slightly more inland.
