PFO β BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Paphos International Airport (Paphos) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the intricate Dalmatian coastline and the dramatic high peaks of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps during the northbound transit.
Troodos Mountains
The pine-covered central massif of Cyprus visible shortly after takeoff from Paphos.
Dalmatian Coast
The stunning contrast of white limestone cliffs and thousands of Croatian islands in the Adriatic.
Hohe Tauern
Panoramic views of the highest mountains in Austria, including the Grossglockner massif.
Munich Area
Views of the Bavarian capital and the surrounding lakes during the mid-flight transit over Germany.
The Ardennes
Dense green forest canopies and winding rivers of southern Belgium as you begin the final descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps and the Croatian coast. Keep a lookout approximately 2.5 hours into the flight for the best mountain views.
Akamas Peninsula
Aerial views of the rugged western tip of Cyprus and Blue Lagoon as you depart Paphos.
The Cyclades
Crystal clear views of the Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Bernese Oberland
Glimpses of the massive Swiss Alpine glaciers and peaks if the flight path tracks slightly west.
Luxembourg City
The deep river gorges and historic fortifications of the Grand Duchy visible on the descent.
Brussels Perimeter
Views of the Belgian countryside and the outer suburbs of Brussels during final approach.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Mediterranean. On approach to Brussels, this side often provides better views of the city center if the aircraft lands on Runway 25R.
