Peak District National Park
Rolling green hills and moorlands visible shortly after departure from Manchester.
Central Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of the Jungfrau, Eiger, and Mönch peaks during the mid-flight cruise.
Venice and the Lagoon
On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be seen to the east.
Albanian Riviera
Dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise waters of the Balkan coast as you begin the descent.
Corfu Old Town
A perfect view of the Venetian Old Fortress and the historic Spianada just before touchdown.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct glare, making it easier to photograph the Alps. Keep your camera ready roughly 90 minutes after takeoff for the mountain range. During the approach to CFU (Runway 34), this side offers the iconic view of the island's capital.

London & SE England
Distal views of the Greater London area and the Thames Estuary on a southerly track.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible on the horizon to the southwest.
Italian Apennines
The rugged 'spine' of Italy provides a textured landscape of deep valleys and ridges.
Paxos and Antipaxos
Jewel-like islands south of Corfu visible during the final approach pattern.
Corfu West Coast
View the dramatic cliffs of Paleokastritsa and the golden sands of Glyfada beach.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Ionian Sea. If the aircraft loops south before landing, you will get an excellent view of the smaller islands like Paxos. Be aware that midday flights on this side can be very bright and hot due to the southern sun.
