Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Kerkyra/corfu. The left side misses the best of the Gatwick departure but wins decisively on the Corfu approach with the Albanian Alps, the Corfu Channel, and Corfu Town all on the left. Across the flight path, the left side also picks up the Adriatic coastline of Italy and the Greek mainland mountains during descent.

During takeoff from Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Right side for the best views. Gatwick's main runway 08R/26L means departures heading east give the right side a view over the Surrey Hills and the North Downs. Climbing out eastbound, the right side tracks over the Weald toward the Kent coast, while the left side faces north toward the urban sprawl of Greater London. Notable sights include: Surrey Hills AONB, the North Downs ridge, the Weald of Kent patchwork farmland, and the Thames Estuary visible on the distant horizon to the northeast.

When landing at Ioannis Kapodistrias International (CFU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Corfu airport runway 35 (northbound landing) or runway 17 (southbound) both offer the left side a view of the Albanian mountains across the Corfu Channel and the island's interior. On the typical approach from the north over the Ionian Sea, the left side faces east toward the dramatic Albanian Alps and the narrow strait separating Corfu from the mainland, while the right side looks out over open Ionian Sea. Notable sights include: Albanian Alps across the Corfu Channel, the narrow Corfu Channel strait, Corfu Town (Kerkyra) and its Old Fortress on the eastern coast, the mountainous spine of northern Corfu.

The flight from Gatwick (LGW) to Ioannis Kapodistrias International (CFU) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes.

The route tracks southeast over France, crossing the Alps near the Mont Blanc massif visible as a high snowcapped cluster on the horizon, then over northern Italy and the Po Valley. The Adriatic Sea is crossed mid-flight, with the Italian Adriatic coast and the Dalmatian coast of Croatia visible as thin coastal strips. Over Greece, the Pindus mountain range runs along the left side during descent, with the Gulf of Corinth visible before the final approach over the Ionian Sea.
