Which side of the plane to sit from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Western Alps including the Mont Blanc massif, the picturesque French countryside, and a clear view of the English coastline upon crossing the Channel.
Ionian Islands
Aerial views of Paxos and Antipaxos shortly after departure from Corfu.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged limestone spine of Italy stretching across the horizon.
Western Alps
Glaciated peaks and high-altitude lakes of the Swiss and French Alps.
Paris Basin
The sprawling urban geography of the รle-de-France region as you head north.
English Channel
Cargo ships and ferries dotting the busy waterway between France and the UK.
Cotswolds AONB
The classic patchwork of green fields and honey-colored stone villages during descent.
Choose a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps. This side is particularly scenic on afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the mountains from the west. Look out approximately 70-80 minutes into the flight for the highest alpine peaks.
Corfu Old Town
A stunning view of the Old Fortress and Spianada Square immediately after takeoff.
Adriatic Riviera
The sandy coastlines of the Italian Marche and Emilia-Romagna regions.
The Dolomites
The unique, jagged limestone formations of the Eastern Italian Alps.
Greater London
On clear days, the distant skyline of Canary Wharf and the City can be seen to the east.
Peak District
The rolling dark peak moors and green valleys just before touchdown in Manchester.
The right side is best for the initial climb out of Corfu, providing the most iconic views of the island's architecture. During the descent into Manchester, keep an eye out for the Jodrell Bank Observatory's massive radio telescope if the flight path approaches from the south.
