Which side of the plane to sit from Dresden Airport (Dresden) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a breathtaking sequence of the Saxon Switzerland mountains, a cross-section of the High Alps, and the stunningly rugged coastline of the Balkans and Albania before landing.
Saxon Switzerland
Shortly after takeoff, view the unique Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the winding Elbe river valley south of Dresden.
Prague Cityscape
As you head south, the 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible in the distance to the east.
Austrian Alps
Spectacular views of the Hohe Tauern range, including the Grossglockner, the highest peak in Austria.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of Croatian islands and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea near Zadar and Split.
Albanian Riviera
The dramatic Ceraunian Mountains meeting the sea near SarandΓ«, just north of Corfu.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is superior for seeing the mountainous transition from Central Europe to the Mediterranean. During the final approach to Corfu (Runway 34), you will see the mainland Greek coast and the Butrint National Park in Albania.
Ore Mountains
Aerial views of the Erzgebirge ridge forming the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Bavarian Lakes
Clear views of Chiemsee and the surrounding foothills of the German Alps.
Adriatic Expanse
A vast blue horizon over the open Adriatic Sea as the flight bypasses the Italian coast.
West Corfu Coast
Stunning views of the Paleokastritsa bays and the dramatic cliffs of the island's western edge upon descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Ionian Sea. It offers the best perspective of the island of Corfu itself during the final descent, including the iconic Vlacherna Monastery if the plane loops around for a southern approach.
