Corfu Old Town
Unrivaled views of the Old Fortress, Liston, and the narrow streets of Kerkyra shortly after takeoff.
Albanian Riviera
The stark contrast between the turquoise waters and the Ceraunian Mountains along the Balkan coast.
Venetian Lagoon
The unique ecosystem of the Po Delta and the distant cluster of islands that make up Venice.
Central Alps
Direct, stunning views of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian peaks and deep glacial valleys.
The English Channel
The busy shipping lanes and the entry point over the southeastern English coastline.
The Midlands
The green patchwork fields of Leicestershire and the edge of the Peak District on final approach.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views of Corfu's landmarks. Because the flight heads North/West, the right side is shaded in the afternoon, providing the best lighting for photography of the Alps and the English countryside. For the best departure view, ensure the plane is using Runway 34.

Ionian Islands
Aerial views of Paxos and the southern tip of Corfu as the plane climbs over the deep blue Ionian Sea.
The Apennines
The rugged 'spine' of Italy, featuring limestone peaks and remote mountain villages during the trans-Adriatic crossing.
Western Alps
Distances views of the Mont Blanc massif and the French-Italian border glaciers.
French Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the Burgundy and Champagne regions' agricultural heartlands.
Greater London
On clear days, the distant sprawl of the UK capital and its landmarks are visible to the south during the descent.
The left side is susceptible to direct glare from the sun on afternoon flights heading northwest. It is the better choice for spotting the Italian coastline and the distant silhouette of the London skyline during the final 20 minutes of the flight.
