EMA → LCA
Which side of the plane to sit from East Midlands Airport (East Midlands) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic perspective of the high Swiss and Austrian Alps, the turquoise Croatian coastline, and a stunning array of Greek islands across the Aegean Sea.
Central Alps
Breathtaking views of the highest snow-capped peaks in Switzerland and Austria.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate coastline of Croatia featuring thousands of islands and deep blue Adriatic waters.
Aegean Archipelago
A stunning view of the Cyclades and Dodecanese islands scattered across the blue Mediterranean.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic and rugged limestone ridges following the southern coast of Turkey towards the sea.
Larnaca Bay
A scenic final approach over the Mediterranean Sea with views of the Larnaca Salt Lake and coastline.
The right side is prime for coastal views. For the best lighting on the Alps and Aegean, opt for a flight leaving EMA in the early afternoon. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes for the crystal-clear waters of the Cypriot coast and the historic Salt Lake near the airport.
Midlands Countryside
Rolling green hills and dense forests of the English heartland shortly after takeoff from EMA.
Bavarian Alps
Views of the northern fringes of the Alpine range across southern Germany and Austria.
Carpathian Mountains
The rugged and wild terrain of the Carpathian range as the flight crosses Eastern Europe.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, high-altitude plains and unique geological formations of central Turkey.
Kyrenia Range
The dramatic limestone peaks of the Five Finger Mountains in Northern Cyprus during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the Bavarian Alps and the Turkish interior. Look for the Danube River winding through the plains of Central Europe about halfway through the journey.
