HAM โ CFU
Which side of the plane to sit from Hamburg Airport (Hamburg) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it provides an incredible panorama of the turquoise Adriatic coast and the intricate Dalmatian islands, paired with a stunning crossing of the Western Alps.
Bavarian Alps
Views of Germany's highest peaks, including the Zugspitze massif, as you transition into Austria.
Istrian Peninsula
The heart-shaped coastline of Croatia where the mountains meet the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning sequence of hundreds of islands, including Hvar, Braฤ, and Korฤula, visible from high altitude.
Ionian Blue
The vibrant transition from the deep Adriatic to the turquoise waters surrounding the Diapontia Islands.
Kanoni Approach
The famous low-altitude approach over the Chalikiopoulou lagoon, offering views of Mouse Island (Pontikonisi).
The right side is a photographer's dream for the Adriatic coastline. Choose a seat behind the wing to capture the contrast between the turquoise water and the white limestone islands. For evening flights, you'll be treated to a sunset over the sea as you approach Greece.
East German Urban Centers
Aerial views of Leipzig or the outskirts of Berlin depending on the specific air corridor.
High Tauern Peaks
A spectacular view of the Austrian Alps, featuring the Grossglockner and massive glacial fields.
Balkan Interior
Rugged, limestone mountain ranges stretching across Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Pindus Mountains
The dramatic 'spine of Greece' comes into view as the aircraft begins its descent into the Ionian region.
Corfu Old Town
Clear views of the Venetian Old Fortress and the historic Spianada square during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for seeing the rugged land-masses of the Balkans. During the final approach from the north, you will have a direct view of the historic Corfu Town and its fortresses.
