Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Paphos International Airport (Paphos)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning panorama of the Eastern Alps and the rugged Balkan interior, while providing the best angle for the scenic approach along the northern coast of Cyprus without the intense southern sun glare.

Eastern Alps
Spectacular views of the Austrian and Swiss Alpine peaks about 90 minutes into the flight.
Balkan Mountains
The dramatic, craggy landscapes of Serbia and Bulgaria visible mid-route.
Rhodes and Dodecanese
Clear views of the large island of Rhodes as the flight begins its final descent over the Mediterranean.
Akamas Peninsula
The turquoise waters and rugged cliffs of Cyprus's westernmost national park during the approach.
North Cyprus Coastline
Views of the Morphou Bay and the Kyrenia mountain range in the distance before turning south.
On morning departures, the left side avoids direct sunlight, making it easier to take photos of the Alps. Look out for the 'Akamas Peninsula' approximately 15 minutes before landing for the most vibrant sea colors. If flying at night, you can often see the lights of Sofia and Ankara in the distance.

Swiss Alps
Vistas of the higher Swiss massifs, including potential glimpses of the Matterhorn in the distance.
Cyclades Islands
A magnificent view of the Greek island chain, including the distinctive shapes of Mykonos or Naxos.

The right side is excellent for viewing the Greek islands scattered across the Aegean Sea. However, be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be directly on this side of the aircraft, which can cause significant glare and heat. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight cruise to keep the cabin cool.
