Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Keffallinia. While the right side wins at takeoff, the left side delivers the more dramatic scenery across the bulk of the flight — tracking the Alps from the left side over France and Switzerland, then the Adriatic coast of Italy, and finally the spectacular approach into Kefallinia with Mount Ainos and Argostoli Bay. The landing views on the left are genuinely exceptional.

During takeoff from Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Right side for the best views. Gatwick's main runway 08L/26R means departures heading east give the right side views over the Surrey Hills and the North Downs. Climbing out eastbound, the right side tracks over the Weald and toward the Thames estuary, while the left side faces north toward Crawley and suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Surrey Hills AONB, the North Downs ridge, Ashdown Forest, the Thames estuary glinting in the distance.

When landing at Kefallinia (EFL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Kefallinia airport sits on the northeast coast of the island, and the main runway 16/34 means arrivals from the north typically approach from over the Ionian Sea heading south. The left side on approach gives views over the mountainous interior of Kefallinia including Mount Ainos, while the right side looks out over open water. Notable sights include: Mount Ainos (1,628m, the highest peak on Kefallinia), Argostoli Bay, the Ionian Sea, the island of Zakynthos visible to the south.

The flight from Gatwick (LGW) to Kefallinia (EFL) takes Approximately 3 hours 30 minutes.

The route tracks southeast across France, giving left-side views of the French Alps including Mont Blanc and the Écrins massif. Over northern Italy the Po Valley is visible, then the Apennines. The flight crosses the Adriatic Sea, with the heel of Italy (Puglia) visible before crossing into Greek airspace over the Ionian Islands. Lefkada and Ithaca are visible just before Kefallinia comes into view.
