CHQ β†’ NRN

Which side of the plane to sit from Chania International Airport (Chania) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled panorama of the Adriatic coastline, including the stunning Bay of Kotor and the vast archipelago of the Dalmatian Islands, followed by a direct view of the Alpine lakes.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
πŸ–οΈ

Akrotiri Peninsula

A bird's-eye view of the turquoise bays and monastery-dotted landscape of Chania's Akrotiri region.

πŸ‡²πŸ‡ͺ

Bay of Kotor

The spectacular fjord-like winding bay of Montenegro, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

An endless chain of Croatian islands including Hvar, Brač, and the historic city of Dubrovnik.

πŸ’Ž

Alpine Lakes

Clear views of large pre-alpine lakes like Chiemsee or Attersee as you cross into Southern Germany.

🏭

Lower Rhine Valley

The transition from the industrial Ruhr area to the green flatlands near the Dutch border during descent.

The right side is the 'coastline' side. For the best photos of the Croatian islands, ensure your window is clean before takeoff. The highlight is the 30-minute stretch over the Adriatic; keep your camera ready once you cross the Albanian border. Morning flights provide the most vibrant colors for the turquoise Mediterranean waters.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
πŸ”οΈ

Lefka Ori

Dramatic views of the White Mountains of Crete immediately after takeoff from Chania.

🌊

Ionian Sea

Deep blue waters and distant glimpses of the islands of Zakynthos and Kefalonia to the west.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, limestone peaks of the Balkan interior stretching through Bosnia and Herzegovina.

❄️

Central Alpine Chain

Aerial views of the high glaciers and peaks of the Austrian Alps during the mid-flight cruise.

Sit on the left for the best views of Crete's mountainous spine during departure. This side is also preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be positioned to the west/southwest during the journey north.
