PVK → MAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Aktion National Airport (Preveza) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the turquoise waters of the Ionian Islands upon departure and a stunning trajectory over the high peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, including potential views of Mont Blanc.
Ionian Islands
Breathtaking views of Lefkada and the turquoise coastal waters of the Ambracian Gulf immediately after takeoff.
Central Apennines
The rugged mountain spine of Italy, featuring limestone peaks and deep valleys as you cross the peninsula.
Western Alps
Unrivaled views of the highest peaks in Europe, often passing near the snow-capped massif of Mont Blanc.
Paris Basin
Distant views of the sprawling French capital and the winding Seine River if the flight path tracks slightly east.
English Channel
The narrow crossing from Continental Europe to the UK, typically filled with ferry and cargo ship traffic.
For the best photography, choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on the left side, which may cause glare; morning flights offer the best lighting for the Alpine scenery. Watch for the 'Blue Lagoon' of Lefkada within the first 5 minutes of flight.
Pindus Range
The massive mountain range of mainland Greece, visible to the east shortly after departure from Preveza.
Adriatic Coast
Views along the eastern Italian coastline and the sparkling waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Central Alps
Aerial perspectives of the Swiss Oberland and the iconic triangular peak of the Matterhorn in the distance.
Northern France
The patchwork quilt of agricultural fields and historic towns between Reims and the coast.
Greater Manchester
Views of the Manchester city skyline and the surrounding Pennine hills during the final approach into MAN.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes. During the descent into Manchester, if the wind is from the west (the usual direction), sit here to see the city center during the final turn toward the runway.
