Which side of the plane to sit from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu) to Lille-Lesquin Airport (Lille)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled departure view of Corfu’s Old Town and a high probability of seeing Mont Blanc and the high Western Alps as you cross into France.
Corfu Old Town
Aerial view of the UNESCO World Heritage site and the Old Fortress immediately after takeoff.
Central Apennines
The rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Italian mainland spine.
Mont Blanc Massif
Dominant views of Europe's highest peak and the surrounding Aiguilles as you enter French airspace.
Burgundy Vineyards
The patchwork patterns of the famous Côte-d'Or wine region in central-eastern France.
Picardy Plains
Flat, historic landscapes of northern France dotted with small villages and Gothic cathedrals.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Corfu coastline during the initial climb. About 70-80 minutes into the flight, keep your camera ready for the snowy peaks of the Western Alps. If the flight is in the evening, you will also benefit from a softer light on the Alpine glaciers without direct sun glare.
Adriatic Horizon
Vast turquoise waters and the distant coastlines of the Balkan Peninsula.
Milan & Po Valley
The industrial heart of Italy and the sprawling metropolitan area near the Alps.
Swiss Alps & Glaciers
Panoramic views of the high Swiss peaks, including the Matterhorn in the distance.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman on the border of Switzerland and France.
Distant Paris
On clear days during the descent, the Eiffel Tower and Parisian skyline may be visible on the horizon.
The right side is ideal for capturing the vastness of the Swiss Alps and the blue expanse of Lake Geneva. During the final approach into Lille, the right side often gets a better view of the 'Nord' department's industrial heritage and the flat landscapes characteristic of the Belgian border region.
