Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Rome to Kerkyra/corfu. While takeoff favors the right, the landing approach offers more distinctive and continuous views. The left side captures the dramatic Ionian strait, the Albanian coast, and the Paxos islands—all geographically unique features of this route. The flight path itself crosses the Apennines and descends over the Ionian Sea, making left-side views more rewarding for the majority of the journey.

During takeoff from Fiumicino (FCO), sit on the Right side for the best views. FCO typically departs runway 16L/R heading southeast. Right-side seats face toward the Alban Hills and the Tyrrhenian Sea coast, offering immediate views of Rome's southern periphery and the Mediterranean. Left seats face inland toward the Apennines, which are less visually distinctive during initial climb. Notable sights include: Tyrrhenian Sea (immediate coastline south of Rome), Alban Hills (volcanic ridge southeast of the airport), Pontine Marshes (flat agricultural plain to the south), Mediterranean coast near Anzio.

When landing at Ioannis Kapodistrias International (CFU), sit on the Left side for the best views. CFU approaches from the northwest, typically using runway 11 (heading southeast). Left-side seats during descent face toward the Ionian Sea and the Albanian coast across the water. This provides views of Corfu's distinctive narrow strait separating it from Albania, plus the island's green interior and the Paxos islands to the south. Notable sights include: Ionian Sea (primary water feature), Albanian coast (visible across the narrow strait to the northeast), Paxos and Antipaxos islands (small islands south of Corfu), Corfu's interior hills and olive groves.

The flight from Fiumicino (FCO) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International (CFU) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Apennine Mountains (central spine of Italy, visible as a north-south ridge with peaks around 6,000-8,000 feet), then transitions over the Tyrrhenian Sea. As the aircraft heads southeast toward Greece, it passes over the Ionian Sea with no major landmasses until approaching Corfu. The Greek islands of Zakynthos and Cephalonia may be visible to the right (south) during the descent phase, depending on exact routing.
