LeftMostly left

While the takeoff from Kefalonia offers beautiful Mediterranean island scenery on the right, the landing approach into Toronto on the left provides more dramatic and recognizable urban and natural features (Lake Ontario, CN Tower, waterfront). For a transatlantic flight, the landing experience typically creates stronger memories than departure.

Flight Path

Flight path overview

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 8-9 hours with no significant landmarks visible over open water. Notable waypoints include: the Irish coast (County Cork/Kerry region) visible during the westbound climb over the Atlantic; Greenland's southern tip and Davis Strait during the mid-Atlantic phase (though typically at night on this routing); and the Canadian Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, Newfoundland) during the final approach descent. The North Atlantic itself dominates the midpoint with occasional cloud formations and, if crossing during daylight, the curvature of the Earth visible at cruise altitude.

Right-side views face north over suburban areas with less dramatic visual interest.
