Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the Right Side is superior for the iconic approach into Corfu, featuring views of the Old Town and the famous Mouse Island during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

The Lake District

Clear views of England's largest national park, featuring Windermere and the Cumbrian fells.

🏔️

Swiss Alps & Mont Blanc

Spectacular views of the highest peaks in Europe, including potential sightings of the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc massif.

🇮🇹

Tuscan Apennines

Rolling hills and the backbone of Italy, often visible before the flight crosses the Adriatic Sea.

🏝️

Corfu Old Town & Pontikonisi

The 'Money Shot' view of the UNESCO Old Town and Mouse Island as the plane aligns with the runway.

The Right Side is essential for photography during the landing. Corfu's runway 34 approach is famous for being low over the water; sit behind the wing to capture the aircraft banking over the turquoise Ionian Sea with the island's lush greenery in the background. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Alps on this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏰

Edinburgh City & Firth of Forth

Immediately after takeoff, enjoy views of Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's Seat, and the historic bridges over the Forth.

🏔️

Eastern Alps & Dolomites

Cross over the jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Dolomites, offering dramatic shadows and textures.

🚤

Venetian Lagoon

As the flight crosses the Adriatic, you can often spot the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands.

🇦🇱

Albanian Riviera

Rugged, undeveloped coastline and turquoise waters as you descend toward the Ionian Sea.

Sit on the left for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the North Sea and the Alps. This side is also better for spotting the Balkan coastline during the descent, though you may miss the main Corfu landmarks on final approach.
