Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more scenic journey, featuring the heart of the Alps, the dramatic Adriatic coastline, and the scattering of the Greek Ionian islands before arrival in Cyprus.

Left Side Highlights

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Scottish Borders

Rolling green hills and the Tweed Valley shortly after departing Glasgow.

🏔️

Central Alps

Dramatic views of snow-capped Swiss and Austrian peaks during the mid-flight cruise.

🛶

Adriatic Coast

Clear views of the Italian eastern seaboard and the lagoons near Venice.

🏝️

Ionian Islands

Aerial perspective of Corfu and Paxos set against the deep blue Ionian Sea.

⛰️

Pindus Mountains

The rugged limestone ridges and deep gorges of the mainland Greek interior.

🇨🇾

Akamas Peninsula

The wild, undeveloped northwestern tip of Cyprus visible during the final descent into Paphos.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the sun's glare from the south. The Alps appear roughly 2 hours after takeoff. Pay close attention during the descent over Greece for the best island views.

Right Side Highlights

🏞️

Lake District

The shimmering waters of Windermere and the peaks of Cumbria as you head south over England.

Western Alps

Distant but majestic views of the Mont Blanc massif depending on the specific flight corridor.

The right side is perfect for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. Watch for the rugged Peloponnese coastline about 3.5 hours into the journey.
