Which side of the plane to sit from Chania International Airport (Chania) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an incredible sequence of the Ionian islands, the expansive Adriatic coastline, and a prime view of the central Alpine peaks before descending into the lowlands.
Ionian Islands
Spectacular aerial views of Lefkada and Corfu surrounded by turquoise waters.
Adriatic Archipelagos
The stunning blue waters of the Adriatic and the numerous islands along the Dalmatian coast.
Swiss-Austrian Alps
A breathtaking traversal over the highest snow-capped peaks of the central Alpine range.
The Ardennes
The rolling green hills and dense forests of the Belgian and Luxembourgish countryside.
Maastricht
Views of the historic city and the winding Meuse river during the initial descent.
Sit on the left for a morning departure to keep the sun behind you while viewing the Greek islands. During the Alpine crossing, look for the sharp contrast between white peaks and blue glacial lakes. Keep your window shade open during the final 20 minutes for a view of the Dutch landscape.
Peloponnese
The rugged, mountainous terrain and historic coastlines of mainland Greece.
Dinaric Alps
The stark, limestone mountain ranges stretching across the Balkan Peninsula.
The Dolomites
The iconic, jagged limestone spires of the Italian and Austrian Alps to the north.
Rhine-Main Area
Distant views of the winding Rhine river and major urban centers in Western Germany.
Brabant Landscape
The patchwork of fields and forests typical of the southern Netherlands on final approach.
The right side is superior for viewing the rugged interior of the Balkan Peninsula and the sharp spires of the Dolomites. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will avoid the direct glare of the setting sun, making photography of the mountains much easier.
