Which side of the plane to sit from Kalamata Airport (Kalamata) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning sequence of coastal scenery, featuring the turquoise Ionian islands and the rugged Dalmatian coast, followed by a dramatic entry into the high Austrian Alps.
Ionian Islands
Aerial views of the white cliffs of Zakynthos and the lush landscapes of Cephalonia shortly after takeoff.
Corfu and Albanian Riviera
The narrow sea passage between the island of Corfu and the rugged, mountainous coastline of Albania.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of Croatian islands and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Dinaric Alps
Dramatic karst limestone formations and steep ridges running parallel to the Adriatic shore.
Austrian High Alps
Snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight crosses into southern Austria toward the descent.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour light reflecting off the Adriatic Sea. This side provides the most iconic views of the Croatian coastline and the higher alpine peaks during the final third of the journey. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the best coastal shots.
Pindus Mountain Range
The rugged spine of mainland Greece, featuring deep gorges and high limestone massifs.
Lake Ohrid
One of Europe's oldest and deepest lakes, visible on the border of North Macedonia and Albania.
Bosnian Highlands
Dense forests and winding river canyons through the heart of the central Balkans.
Pannonian Basin
The transition from the Balkan mountains to the vast, flat plains of the Danube region.
Lake Neusiedl
A unique, shallow steppe lake surrounded by reed beds and vineyards just southeast of Vienna.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Greek mountains. It offers a more inland perspective of the Balkans. During the approach into Vienna (VIE), the right side often provides a better view of the city skyline if the plane approaches from the southeast over the Danube.
