Which side of the plane to sit from Paphos International Airport (Paphos) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior coastal views, featuring the turquoise waters of the Akamas Peninsula, the spectacular Dalmatian islands of Croatia, the eastern ridges of the Alps, and a beautiful approach over the English coastline.
Akamas Peninsula
Dramatic views of the rugged northwestern tip of Cyprus and Blue Lagoon shortly after takeoff.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of the thousands of islands along the Croatian coast and the clear Adriatic Sea.
Austrian Alps
Snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys of the eastern Alpine range during the mid-flight cruise.
Dutch Coastline
The intricate network of polders, dikes, and the sandy beaches of the Netherlands and Zeeland.
North York Moors
As the plane crosses the North Sea, the rugged cliffs of Whitby and the heather-covered Yorkshire moors come into view.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to avoid the afternoon sun glare. The left side is particularly rewarding during the descent into Newcastle as it typically aligns with the North Sea coastline, providing views of the historic ports and the Angel of the North if the approach is from the south.
Troodos Mountains
Aerial perspective of the highest mountain range in Cyprus, home to Mount Olympus.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone peaks of the Balkan interior stretching through Montenegro and Bosnia.
Rhine Valley
Vast views of the winding Rhine River and the industrial heartland of Western Germany.
Ruhr Area
Dense urban clusters and the impressive scale of Germany's largest metropolitan region.
Northumberland Coast
If the flight approaches from the north, you can spot the majestic castles of Alnwick and Bamburgh.
The right side is ideal for passengers interested in the mountainous interior of Europe. It offers a unique perspective on the densely populated cities of the Rhine-Ruhr. Keep an eye out for the vast wind farms in the North Sea as the flight begins its final descent into the North East of England.
