Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Chania International Airport (Chania)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Central Alps' high peaks and the stunning coastline of the Adriatic Sea, followed by the lush Ionian Islands and the rugged Peloponnese.
Swiss and Austrian Alps
Dramatic views of the highest, snow-capped peaks in Central Europe.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate shoreline of Croatia and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Ionian Islands
Aerial perspectives of islands like Corfu and Kefalonia as you traverse the Greek coast.
The Peloponnese
Rugged mountains and historic peninsulas of southern mainland Greece.
Balos Lagoon
On the final approach from the northwest, the stunning turquoise waters of Balos are often visible.
This side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour over the Mediterranean. It provides a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the Alpine mountains to the coastal islands. Keep your window shade open during the descent into CHQ for a glimpse of Crete's northwest cliffs.
Rhine-Ruhr Region
Dense urban sprawl and industrial heartlands of Western Germany shortly after departure.
Tyrolean Alps
Glacial valleys and high peaks of the Eastern Austrian Alps stretching toward the horizon.
Aegean Horizon
Deep blue vistas of the Aegean Sea as the plane begins its descent into the Greek islands.
Choose this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. It offers excellent views of the urban landscapes of Germany and the eastern flank of the Alps. During the final approach into Chania, you may see the Akrotiri Peninsula.
