Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Aktion National Airport (Preveza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side (Starboard) offers a spectacular sequence of European landscapes, from the Rhine valley and Lake Constance to the breathtaking turquoise waters and white-pebble islands of the Croatian and Ionian coastlines.
Lake Constance
A massive blue expanse marking the junction of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Swiss/French Alps
Distant but majestic views of the highest peaks in Europe across the western horizon.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning chain of Croatian islands including Hvar and Brač set in deep blue waters.
Dubrovnik
The famous walled 'Pearl of the Adriatic' is often visible from high altitude.
Ionian Islands
Exceptional views of Corfu and Paxos surrounded by bright turquoise shallows.
Ambracian Gulf
A unique, lagoon-rich ecosystem visible during the final moments of landing.
The Right Side is ideal for midday or afternoon flights as the sun will be behind or above you, reducing glare on the water. Ensure you are ready with a camera about 60-80 minutes into the flight when the Adriatic coastline comes into view. On the final approach to PVK, this side offers the best views of the Lefkada causeway and the coastal lagoons.
Rhine-Main Region
Aerial views of the urban landscape of central Germany shortly after departure.
Austrian Alps
Dense clusters of jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys in the Tyrolean region.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, karst mountain ranges spanning Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Lake Skadar
The largest lake in Southern Europe, shared between Montenegro and Albania.
Pindus Mountains
The 'spine of Greece' provides a dramatic backdrop during the descent into Preveza.
Sit here for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the mountains. Keep a lookout for the transition from the green German forests to the rugged, grey Balkan peaks. This side is better if you prefer mountain geology over coastal views.
