MUC → CFU
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (Kerkyra/corfu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled sequence of views, starting with the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, followed by the entire length of the turquoise Dalmatian coastline and a stunning arrival view of Corfu's Old Town.
Bavarian Lake District
Aerial views of Lake Starnberg and Ammersee immediately after departing Munich to the south.
Hohe Tauern
Glacial views of the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak, as you traverse the main chain of the Alps.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A spectacular sequence of Croatian islands including Hvar, Brač, and Korčula set against deep blue waters.
Dubrovnik
A perfect bird's-eye view of the historic walled city and the Old Port of the 'Pearl of the Adriatic'.
Corfu Old Town
As the plane turns for the final approach, enjoy views of the Old Fortress and the iconic Pontikonisi (Mouse Island).
Choose the right side to avoid the harsh southern sun on midday flights. The highlight of this route is the Croatian coastline; the plane typically flies just offshore, providing a perfect angle of the islands. For the landing at CFU, which is famous for its low over-water approach, the right side often sees the historic center of Kerkyra just before touchdown.
Berchtesgaden Alps
Dramatic views of the Watzmann massif and the Königssee area shortly after crossing the German-Austrian border.
Triglav National Park
The jagged limestone peaks of the Julian Alps in Slovenia, including the country's highest point, Mount Triglav.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, wild mountain ranges spanning through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Lake Skadar
The largest lake in Southern Europe, shared between Montenegro and Albania, known for its dolphin-like shape.
Epirus Coastline
The lush, mountainous mainland of Greece and the city of Igoumenitsa visible during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Balkan mountain ranges. Watch for the 'Accursed Mountains' on the border of Montenegro and Albania, which remain snow-capped well into the spring. On the final approach into Corfu, you will have a clear view of the Greek mainland mountains meeting the Ionian Sea.
