Which side of the plane to sit from Diagoras Airport (Rhodos) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more dramatic sequence of the Aegean archipelago, the Venice lagoon, and the sharpest peaks of the Dolomites during the Alpine crossing.
Aegean Gems
Clusters of Dodecanese islands like Tilos and Nisyros visible shortly after departure.
Mount Olympus
The mythical home of the gods visible over the clouds of northern Greece.
Venice Lagoon
The unmistakable shape of Venice and its surrounding islands in the northern Adriatic.
The Dolomites
Sharp, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps known for their unique vertical walls.
Lake Constance
The massive lake bordering Switzerland, Germany, and Austria seen during the descent.
For morning flights, the right side avoids the harshest glare. Shortly after takeoff from Rhodes, look for the perfectly circular volcanic island of Nisyros. The transition from the Adriatic Sea to the Italian Alps is most visually striking from this side, often passing directly over Venice.
Gulf of Corinth
A deep inlet of the Ionian Sea separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece.
Corfu Island
The northernmost Ionian island with its distinctive coastline and lush vegetation.
Lake Garda
The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake framed by the southern Alpine foothills.
Swiss Alps
Panoramic views of the central Swiss massifs including the Jungfrau and Eiger regions.
Black Forest
The dense, dark canopy of southern Germany's famous mountain range near the border.
Choose the left side for afternoon departures to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. Watch for the dramatic shift from the blue Ionian Sea to the rugged peaks of the Swiss Alps. During winter, the snow-capped Swiss massifs are exceptionally clear from this side.
