LPL โ RHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Swiss Alps' highest peaks and a magnificent descent over the sun-drenched Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea.
London & SE England
Distant views of the capital's sprawl and the Thames Estuary shortly after departure from Liverpool.
Central Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys, often passing near the Jungfrau region.
Adriatic Coastline
The dramatic, rugged shores of Croatia and Albania meeting the turquoise waters of the sea.
Athens & Attica
Potential glimpses of the Greek capital and the Saronic Gulf during the mid-descent phase.
Cyclades Islands
A stunning aerial mosaic of white-washed islands like Mykonos and Naxos scattered across the deep blue Aegean.
Sit on the left for the best lighting on the Alps during morning flights. During the final 30 minutes of the flight, keep your window shade up for the scattering of Aegean islands. On the final approach into Rhodes, you will often see the Turkish coastline (Datรงa peninsula) shimmering to the north.
Paris Basin
Extensive views of the French countryside and the western outskirts of Paris depending on the specific airway.
French Alps
Views of the Mont Blanc massif and the rugged, high-altitude terrain of eastern France.
Italian Apennines
The mountainous spine of Italy is visible as the flight crosses towards the Ionian Sea.
Peloponnese Peninsula
Views of the historic and mountainous southern peninsula of mainland Greece before the turn toward Rhodes.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if you are on a late afternoon flight. You will get a great view of the Rhodes coastline and the southern Dodecanese islands during the initial descent phase. Expect a smooth view of the Mediterranean horizon for much of the mid-flight.
