Which side of the plane to sit from Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views including the Western Alps peaks and a stunning perspective of Corfu's coastline and the historic Old Town during the final descent into the airport.
Parisian Basin
On clear days, see the sprawling layout of Paris and its surrounding forests from high altitude.
The High Alps
Breathtaking panoramas of the highest peaks in Europe, including the snow-capped Mont Blanc massif.
Apennine Mountains
The scenic spine of Italy featuring rolling hills, lakes, and ancient hilltop villages.
Ionian Islands
Aerial perspectives of Paxos and Antipaxos as you circle for the approach to Kerkyra.
Corfu Old Town
A close-up view of the UNESCO-listed Old Fort and the Venetian architecture just before touchdown.
The right side is unbeatable for the approach into Corfu, which is one of the most scenic in Europe. For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps and the final turn over the Ionian Sea. Late afternoon flights provide dramatic golden hour lighting on the Greek coastline.
East Anglian Plains
Bird's eye view of the patchwork fields and winding rivers of Eastern England after departure.
European Cityscapes
Potential views of Brussels or the outskirts of Paris depending on the specific air traffic control routing.
Eastern Alps
Glances of the jagged limestone peaks of the Austrian and Italian Dolomites as you traverse Central Europe.
Adriatic Coastline
Stunning views of the Italian eastern seaboard and the deep blue waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Albanian Riviera
The rugged mountains and turquoise bays of the Albanian coast as you begin your descent toward Corfu.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding for seeing the transition from the Italian coast to the Balkan mountains. Look out for the city of Venice in the distance if the flight path tracks slightly further east.
