LEJ → CFU
Which side of the plane to sit from Leipzig/Halle Airport (Leipzig) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled panorama of the Austrian Alps, the intricate coastline of the Adriatic Sea, and the iconic low-altitude approach into Corfu's runway 34.
Northern Limestone Alps
Spectacular views of the Salzkammergut region and the Dachstein Glacier as the flight crosses into Austria.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning sequence of Croatian islands including Hvar and Brač set against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Bay of Kotor
The winding, fjord-like bay of Montenegro, surrounded by sheer limestone cliffs dropping into the water.
Albanian Riviera
The white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Ionian coast near Sarandë.
Corfu Town & Pontikonisi
The world-famous approach over the Old Fortress of Corfu and the tiny Mouse Island just before touchdown.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Croatian islands. The approach into CFU is one of Europe's most scenic; if the wind is from the North, you will see the Old Town and the narrow causeway of Kanoni directly out your window. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side.
Erzgebirge Range
The scenic Ore Mountains forming the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic shortly after takeoff.
Hohe Tauern National Park
Glaciated peaks of the Eastern Alps, including views towards the Grossglockner massif in Austria.
Lake Skadar
The largest lake in the Balkans, straddling the border of Montenegro and Albania, known for its dolphin-like shape.
Pindus Mountains
The rugged, green 'spine of Greece' visible as the aircraft begins its descent towards the Ionian Sea.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the Balkan interior. This side is also excellent for spotting the sunrise if departing LEJ at dawn. During the final descent, look for the Greek mainland's dramatic coastline across the Corfu Strait.
