CFU β HAJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular front-row seat to the dramatic Balkan coastline and the intricate island chains of Croatia, followed by an impressive traversal of the high Austrian Alps.
Corfu Town & Old Fortress
A stunning look at the UNESCO-listed Old Town and the historic Venetian fortifications during climb-out.
Albanian Riviera
Dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters where the mountains meet the sea along the Ionian coast.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The world-famous view of thousands of Croatian islands including Hvar, BraΔ, and the Kornati group.
Hohe Tauern National Park
The highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, often including a view of the Grossglockner glacier.
Harz Mountains
The dense forests and the Brocken peak visible just before the final descent into Hannover.
The right side is the clear winner for geographic diversity. For the best lighting on the Croatian islands, choose a morning flight. Keep your camera ready about 40-50 minutes into the flight for the most dense island clusters. As you approach Hannover, the right side provides a great perspective of the transition from the mountains to the North German Plain.
Ionian Sea Islands
Aerial views of Paxos and the southern tip of Corfu immediately after departure.
Adriatic Expanse
Deep blue views of the open sea and distant cargo ships navigating the Mediterranean corridor.
Eastern Alps
Rugged limestone peaks and glacial valleys as the flight crosses from Slovenia into Austria.
Bavarian Countryside
Neat geometric patterns of German farmland and small villages in the southern states.
Central German Cities
Distant views of the urban sprawls around Kassel and the rolling hills of Hesse.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to enjoy a long, beautiful sunset over the Adriatic and Central Europe. However, be prepared for significant sun glare during the middle of the day. In the winter months, look for the snow-capped peak of the Zugspitze far in the distance as you pass the Alpine region.
