Which side of the plane to sit from Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (Heraklion) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Balkan coastline, the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites, and the vast expanse of the Aegean islands early in the flight.
Cyclades Horizon
Glimpse the southern Aegean islands, including the distant silhouettes of Santorini and Milos shortly after departure.
Peloponnese Mountains
Survey the rugged, historic landscape of southern mainland Greece as the flight heads northwest.
Dalmatian Coast
View the intricate network of islands and deep blue bays along the coastlines of Montenegro and Croatia.
The Dolomites
An unbeatable view of the jagged limestone spires and pink-hued peaks of the Italian Dolomites.
Lake Constance
See the massive 'Bodensee' where the borders of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.
Luxembourgish Ardennes
Dense green forests and deep valleys of the northern Luxembourg countryside as you approach LUX.
The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for this route. It provides the best angle for the Balkan coast and the most dramatic parts of the Alps. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing (rows 1-10) to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the Dolomites.
Cretan Northern Coast
Aerial views of the turquoise waters and rugged shoreline of Crete immediately after takeoff from Heraklion.
Ionian Islands
Spot the iconic white cliffs of Zakynthos and the mountainous terrain of Kefalonia as you cross the Ionian Sea.
The Italian Heel
Clear views of the Apulia region, including the historic port city of Bari and the flat plains of southern Italy.
Swiss Alps Peaks
On clear days, see the snow-capped summits of the central Swiss Alps and high-altitude glaciers.
Moselle Valley
Dramatic views of the winding Moselle River and its steep, vineyard-covered banks during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It is also the better side for viewing the Italian 'boot' and the western ridges of the Alps. Keep an eye out for the distinctive blue waters of the Ionian Sea about 30 minutes into the flight.
