RHO → NCL
Which side of the plane to sit from Diagoras Airport (Rhodos) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning sequence of coastal views including the Ionian Islands, the dramatic Adriatic coastline of Croatia, and the rugged peaks of the Dolomites.
Greek Ionian Islands
Clear views of the blue waters around Zakynthos and Kefalonia shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Adriatic Coastline
The spectacular turquoise waters and white stone cliffs of the Dalmatian coast, including the city of Dubrovnik.
The Dolomites
The sharp, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps provide a dramatic landscape mid-flight.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine river through Germany, dotted with historic towns and vineyard-covered slopes.
The Pennines
The rolling green hills and moorland of Northern England during the final descent into Newcastle.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, ensuring better visibility and photo opportunities of the Balkan coast. Watch for the distinctive shape of Lake Garda as you transition from the Mediterranean to the Alps.
Aegean Archipelago
Aerial perspective of the Cyclades and Dodecanese islands immediately following takeoff from Rhodes.
Austrian Alps
Glaciated peaks and deep valleys of the Tyrol region as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Frankfurt Skyline
Views of Germany's financial hub and one of Europe's busiest aviation corridors.
Rotterdam Port
The massive industrial landscape of the world's largest seaports as you cross the Dutch coast.
Northumbrian Coast
If approaching NCL from the north, you will see the beautiful beaches and castles of the Northumberland coastline.
The right side is ideal for seeing the dense island clusters of Greece early in the flight. On the descent, look for the 'Angel of the North' statue if the plane performs a southern approach loop over Gateshead.
