LIL → CFU
Which side of the plane to sit from Lille-Lesquin Airport (Lille) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer spectacular views of the Alps, the Right Side is the clear winner for the arrival phase, providing a panoramic view of Corfu's rugged coastline and the iconic Old Town during the descent.

Mont Blanc
Western Europe's highest peak is often visible in the distance to the west while crossing the alpine ridge.
Italian Lakes
Glimpses of Lake Como and Lake Garda's deep blue waters nestled between the southern alpine foothills.
Italian Adriatic Coast
The long, sandy stretches of the Rimini and Ancona coastlines visible across the sea.
Northern Corfu
The dramatic cliffs of Cape Drastis and the northern beaches of the island during initial descent.
Corfu Old Town
A world-class view of the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town and the Old Fortress on the final approach to Runway 34.
The Right Side is essential for the famous landing at CFU. If the plane lands from the south (the most common approach), you will fly directly past the historic center and the 'Mouse Island' (Pontikonisi). For afternoon flights, you'll have the best light on the island's landscape without the glare of the southern sun.

A stunning mosaic of thousands of Croatian islands and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Dinaric Alps
