Which side of the plane to sit from Kalamata Airport (Kalamata) to London Gatwick Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the iconic Ionian Islands after takeoff, the most dramatic ridges of the Swiss Alps, and a higher probability of seeing the London skyline during the approach into Gatwick.

Ionian Islands
Spectacular views of Zakynthos and the famous Navagio beach area shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Adriatic Panorama
Views of the busy shipping lanes and the turquoise waters between the Greek coast and Italy.
Swiss Alps Peaks
A front-row seat to the highest peaks in Europe, including the Aletsch Glacier and the Eiger massif.
Parisian Basin
On clear days, the vast urban expanse of Paris and its surrounding forests are visible as you head north.
Garden of England
The lush green landscapes of Kent and the historic estates of the English countryside during descent.
The right side is the definitive choice for Alpine scenery; ensure your seat is forward or aft of the wing to avoid obstructed views of the glaciers. If the wind is blowing from the west (standard for LGW), the right side often catches a glimpse of the Shard and London's skyscrapers during the final turn.

Distant views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and potentially the city of Rome depending on the specific airway used.
Western Alps
The jagged peaks bordering France and Italy, featuring high-altitude glacial valleys.
Burgundy Region
The geometric patterns of France's famous vineyards stretching across the rolling hills of the interior.
Brighton & South Coast
Clear views of the British coastline, including the Brighton pier and the South Downs national park.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean and the French countryside. It is also the better side for viewing the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs if the aircraft approaches Gatwick from the southeast.
