PVK → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Aktion National Airport (Preveza) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the rugged Balkan mountain ranges and the most dramatic peaks of the Eastern Alps, complemented by stunning views of the Croatian archipelago.
Ambracian Gulf
Immediate views of the unique wetlands and lagoons surrounding PVK airport upon takeoff.
Dinaric Alps
The dramatic, karst limestone peaks of Albania and Montenegro stretching inland.
Dalmatian Coast
The spectacular sight of hundreds of Croatian islands and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic shoreline.
Hohe Tauern
Close-up views of Austria's highest mountains, including the Grossglockner massif.
Swabian Jura
High plateaus and occasional glimpses of hilltop castles like Hohenzollern during the transit over Southern Germany.
Cologne Skyline
During the approach to DUS, the famous spires of the Cologne Cathedral are often visible to the right.
The right side is significantly more scenic for the first half of the flight. For the best photography of the Alps, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights on this side benefit from the sun being on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for the Balkan and Alpine landscapes.
Ionian Islands
Bird's-eye views of Paxos, Antipaxos, and the northern tip of Corfu shortly after departure.
Adriatic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea as the flight tracks north-westward.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted in the distance.
Central Alps
Aerial perspective of the glaciated peaks near the Swiss-Austrian border.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen canopies and rolling hills as you enter German airspace.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights. This side is ideal for spotting the Rhine River's silver ribbon as you begin the final descent into the North Rhine-Westphalia region. Keep an eye out for the Swiss Alps' silhouette on the far horizon during the mid-flight cruise.
