CFU โ LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Albanian coastline immediately after takeoff and provides the most direct vistas of the high Swiss Alps peaks and the Thames Estuary during the UK arrival.
Albanian Riviera
Incredible turquoise waters and mountainous coastline near Sarandรซ and the Llogara Pass.
Venice Lagoon
On more northerly routes, you can spot the intricate islands and historic canals of Venice from above.
Swiss Alpine Peaks
Direct views of the Eiger, Jungfrau, and potentially the Matterhorn depending on the specific airway.
Luxembourg City
The unique topography of the Alzette river gorge and the city's historic fortifications.
Thames Estuary
The sprawling waterways and industrial landmarks where the River Thames meets the North Sea.
The right side is the 'Alps side' for this route. Midday flights offer the best lighting for the mountain ranges. Shortly after takeoff from CFU, look immediately right to see the stark contrast between the sea and the Albanian mountains. During descent into Luton, this side provides a great view of the expanding suburban landscape of Essex and Hertfordshire.
Corfu Old Town
Aerial view of the Venetian fortresses and the historic UNESCO-listed town center shortly after departure.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged spine of Italy as the flight path crosses the Italian peninsula from the Adriatic.
Western Alps
Distant but spectacular views of the snow-capped French and Swiss border peaks including the Mont Blanc massif.
French Vineyards
Rolling green patterns of the Burgundy and Champagne regions as you head towards the English Channel.
London Skyline
During the final descent into Luton, the towers of the City and Canary Wharf are often visible in the distance.
Book the left side for morning flights (06:00-11:00) to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better visibility and clearer photos. This side is also best for seeing the Corfu coastline if the wind dictates a northern departure. Keep your camera ready about 5-10 minutes after takeoff for the best view of the Old Fortress.
