Which side of the plane to sit from Paphos International Airport (Paphos) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Troodos mountains in Cyprus, the heart of the European Alps, and the iconic Severn Estuary during the approach to Bristol.
Troodos Mountains
A spectacular aerial view of the pine-clad central mountain range of Cyprus immediately after takeoff.
The High Alps
Direct views over the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites and the snow-capped summits of the central Alps.
Greater Paris
On clear days, the sprawling urban layout of Paris and its outskirts may be visible to the north.
Severn Estuary
The dramatic tidal waters of the Severn and the impressive Prince of Wales Bridge during the final approach.
Bristol City
Views of the colorful houses of Clifton and the city's unique topography just before touchdown.
The right side is the prime choice for mountain lovers. You will see the Troodos range right after takeoff and the high peaks of the Alps mid-flight. For the best experience, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the mountains from the south, providing high-contrast views. Keep your camera ready for the Severn Bridges during the final descent into Bristol.
Adriatic Coast
Stunning views of the rugged Albanian and Montenegrin coastlines and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Western Alps
Glacial peaks and high-altitude valleys near the French-Swiss border, including distant views of Mont Blanc.
French Countryside
The patchwork fields and historic vineyards of central France as the flight progresses towards the coast.
English Channel
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, featuring numerous cargo ships and ferries crossing between France and the UK.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. This side is excellent for viewing the rugged Adriatic coastline and the rolling hills of central France during the descent.
