LTN β CFU
Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the majestic Alps and a breathtaking descent along the rugged Balkan coastline and the crystal-clear waters of the Albanian Riviera before reaching Corfu.
English Channel
Aerial views of the busy shipping lanes and the French coastline near Calais shortly after departure.
Swiss & French Alps
Dramatic snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight crosses central Europe.
Po Valley
The expansive agricultural plains of Northern Italy and the meandering Po River.
Adriatic Coastline
Vistas of the turquoise waters bordering Croatia and Montenegro's mountainous shores.
Albanian Riviera
Rugged limestone mountains meeting the Ionian Sea, visible during the initial descent.
Northern Corfu
Views of the island's lush green interior and the Cape Drastis cliffs upon arrival.
Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the sun on this side. Keep your camera ready approximately 90 minutes after take-off for the Alpine crossing. During the final 20 minutes, the contrast between the Albanian mountains and the sea is best captured from here.
Paris Outskirts
Distant views of the French capital and the sprawling urban landscape of the Γle-de-France.
French Alps
Spectacular views of the Vanoise National Park and potentially Mont Blanc in the distance.
Apennine Mountains
The spine of Italy visible as the plane traverses the peninsula toward the Ionian Sea.
Corfu Old Town
A stunning view of the Venetian fortresses and UNESCO World Heritage town center on final approach.
Pontikonisi (Mouse Island)
The famous Byzantine chapel on a tiny islet near the runway, visible just seconds before landing.
The right side is the 'money shot' for the landing. If the wind dictates an approach from the south (Runway 34), you will fly directly past the Old Fortress of Corfu. Opt for an afternoon flight for the best lighting on the Italian landscape and Corfu town.
