Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Aktion National Airport (Preveza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the Adriatic coastline, the stunning Dalmatian islands, and the deep blue Ionian Sea as you descend into Preveza.
Julian Alps
Look for the snow-capped Slovenian peaks in the distance as the flight heads south from Austria.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A spectacular view of Croatia's coastline featuring islands like Braฤ, Hvar, and Korฤula dotting the blue sea.
Bay of Kotor
The winding, fjord-like bay of Montenegro surrounded by steep mountains is a major highlight.
Corfu and Paxos
As you descend, the lush green island of Corfu and the crystal waters of Paxos appear on the right.
This is the premier side for this route. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind or above the plane, illuminating the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea. Try to sit away from the wing to fully capture the intricate patterns of the Croatian islands and the dramatic entry into the Gulf of Ambracia.
Lake Neusiedl
Shortly after takeoff from Vienna, see the vast, shallow steppe lake straddling the Austrian-Hungarian border.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone peaks of the Balkan interior stretch across Bosnia and Montenegro.
Lake Skadar
A massive dolphin-shaped lake shared by Montenegro and Albania, known for its wetlands and bird life.
Pindus Mountain Range
The 'spine of Greece' offers dramatic ridges and deep gorges as you cross into Greek airspace.
Sit on the left if you prefer inland mountain vistas and the unique shape of Lake Skadar. During morning flights, expect direct sunlight on this side which may affect visibility and photography. Keep an eye out for the remote villages of the Epirus region during the final approach.
