Which side of the plane to sit from Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panorama of the Adriatic Sea's jagged coastline, the majestic Swiss and French Alps, and a bird's-eye view of the scattered Greek islands during the descent into the Aegean.
Western Alps
Breathtaking views of the highest European peaks, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn depending on the specific corridor.
Dalmatian Coast
The stunning turquoise waters and thousands of white-pebbled islands along the coast of Croatia.
Gulf of Corinth
A clear view of the narrow strip of water separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece, featuring the Rio-Antirrio Bridge.
The Cyclades
As you descend, enjoy the iconic sight of volcanic islands like Santorini and Mykonos scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Aegean Sunset
On evening flights, the right side captures the sun setting directly over the Greek archipelago, creating a golden reflection on the water.
The right side is the 'scenic route' for coastal lovers. For the best photography, avoid seats directly over the wing. Watch for the dramatic change in water color from the deep Adriatic to the vibrant turquoise of the Ionian Sea.
London & South East
On a clear day, look out for the distant urban sprawl of London and the Thames Estuary as you exit UK airspace.
Austrian Alps
Spectacular views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Alps as the plane traverses Central Europe.
Balkan Mountains
The rugged, forested terrain of Serbia and Bulgaria provides a dramatic landscape of deep valleys and limestone ridges.
Rhodes Old Town
During the final approach from the north, catch a glimpse of the UNESCO-listed Medieval City and the harbor.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is superior for seeing the historic Rhodes Town and the Palace of the Grand Master during the final banking turn before landing at Diagoras Airport.
