Honestly, I could just sit under that parasol with a large ice cold chocolate milkshake & a camera watching those planes land all day. What a lovely location to sit & chill.👍 I look forward to going to Corfu. Great video & thank you for sharing.
We made the mistake of booking a package holiday at the Multi-Story hotel you can see at 2:22 and several other times in this video. The village is called Benitses. Right overlooking the flight path and that Runway was in use All Day and All Night every single day. You couldn't even get drunk enough to pass out to get some sleep. We never slept a wink in that hotel, the planes are actually below the level of the hotels and a lot closer than they look in this video. The only way we got any sleep was crashing out on a beach somewhere near Ipsos. The approach is like a funnel so the noise is concentrated and bounces all around both sides of the flight path. Corfu is beautiful but don't get within 10 miles of that airport runway, the airport is extremely busy and the noise is unbelieveable. Worst holiday we ever had, Beautiful Hotel but holiday ruined by that runway and I would Never stay in that area again and, wouldn't recommend it to my worst ememy.
@@philyew3617 Those hotels are mostly for plane-spotters /lovers and generally for people not having problem watching (and hearing) the planes come and go. Surprisingly(?) there are lots of them...
I’m in Corfu right now! I wasn’t expecting such a scenic landing at my arrival a few days ago, it seemed like the plane was touching the water when we were finally able to spot some tarmac to land on
the sounds of Greece. the cicadas drowned out the jets. A great spotting terrace at that bar too. Zante island runway is the same, approached over a busy road. Wow that blue banded Condor wasn't easy on the eye at all.
Thank you X-Spot Aviation; agree it’s a fantastic location for spotting on either upper levels, on the walkway just south and on a small track really close east of the runway. We’ve spent plenty of hours there, either side of a Greek meal or some Mythos. Perfect!
That MD-82!!! European Air Charter previously named Bulgarian Air Charter. I was driving on the other side of the airport and had to stop to watch it. It came two times in two days. Its rare to see that plane here. Also the Condor 757 almost had a bird strike on takeoff I think
Loved watching this such great quality and a wide variety of viewpopints. My favourite part was the Striped Condor 757 (D-Aboi) departure. Thanks for sharing your experience in Corfu :)
Thank you:::: Yes, it is amazing & picturesque approach!, Love the way you varied the views, from different angles and positions, up, down, close, far: made it interesting & pleasurable to watch. Looked spectacular on our huge TV at home!
It's unbelieveably noisy and it's 24 hrs a day non-stop. I wouldn't stay within 10 miles of that runway ever again. It's an extremely busy airport, and yes I have been there and stayed in one of the hotels overlooking, (the multi story you can see at 2:22 and other times in the clip). Wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Holiday totally ruined by that runway.
Wow - amazing video, superb variety excellently shot & cut - one of best I've seen in many years of plane-spotting. Thanks also for re-enlivening a wonderful place to visit!
welcome to Greece guys.Maybe in Corfu there are no heavies like Frankfurt but the approach and the airport itself is one of a kind for planespotting.Excellent work
Thanks really enjoyed a break watching this ... Looks an awesome place for a relaxing spot .. enjoyed the 757 and thought the camera work on the BA plane was good ...

Oh, what a pity. We were about another 1 km along the coast from this point and from our hotel balcony could watch the planes dropping their landing gear for this gentle final approach. Noise was not a problem there. Corfu is an emerald, we had a lovely holiday exploring, eating and bathing in the Adriatic. And those sunsets...!
@@iconicshrubbery I think your geography is a bit off. Corfu is nowhere near the Adriatic. It's in the Northern Ionian Sea and, at it's closest point it's less than two miles from Albania. It's so close they have a constant problem with illegal immigrants actually swimming across to Corfu from Albania.
I flew on the MD80 LZ-LDS out of Corfu to Linz on July 8th. There was just 5 of us passengers! Nice to get one last opportunity to fly on one. I filmed here too on that day. Annoying how the trees have grown covering the runway view since a few years before
@@XSpotAviation Yes the last time I had to stay in the Ariti Hotel just up the road. I have been watching the planes from this location for the last 40 years. Back then the Livery’s were much more interesting and varied and quite a few wide bodied planes like the B767 A300 and A 330 were daily visitors
Fantastic holiday, just bleeding fantastic. 14 days of sunshine, kerosene fumes and noise, noise, noise. My wife left after 2 days, went of with some Greek bloke on his fishing boat. Someone saw the boat anchored in the bay. Said it spent hours rocking from side to side, even though the sea was flat calm. She still can hardly walk, something to do with a huge Greek sausage she ate.
Why don't they cut those frigging trees down? Or at least trim them so you can see the whole runway? Having said that, Wow, what a great plane spotting video!
I landed on that Jet2 Flight 951 from Manchester, but unfortunately was the worst 2 week holiday I have had. Its the first holiday I wanted to come back after a few days. It was so run down, empty buildings, graffiti it really needs tidying up. The Airport though was great, easy process both landing and departure. Wish I could have been in that Hotel watching all this.
Sorry to hear that. You are right about graffiti. And it's not only in Corfu. It is everywhere. It's nice to see one or two and beautifully drawn but they are everywhere in Greece and most of them are ugly too. I cannot understand why the Greek authorities don't do something drastic about it. Greetings from Athens.
the md82 of european charter LZ-LDS is 29 years old, almost the same as the one that crashed in miami from the Dominican Republic, the one that fractured the front end
Honestly, I could just sit under that parasol with a large ice cold chocolate milkshake & a camera watching those planes land all day.
What a lovely location to sit & chill.👍
I look forward to going to Corfu.
Great video & thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching, much appreciated!

Congratulations, you are satisfied with little, I would rather be with a beautiful girl and enjoy the holiday.
@@philyew3617 You booked a holiday with a hotel 500 metres from the airport. What exactly did you expect?
@@philyew3617 Those hotels are mostly for plane-spotters /lovers and generally for people not having problem watching (and hearing) the planes come and go. Surprisingly(?) there are lots of them...
This would have to be the best aircraft photography I have ever seen. Well done and congratulations.
Thanks, much appreciated.
Super successful video. There you have an absolute box seat, and in 2160 resolution a dream of quality. Thanks for this great work!
This brought back so many memories of a magical holiday. Fell inlove with Corfu in 1980…sooo long ago🤦🏻♀️
Love sitting in the sky bar watching the planes come in and taxi for take off. Can’t wait to be back again in 5 weeks.
I’m in Corfu right now! I wasn’t expecting such a scenic landing at my arrival a few days ago, it seemed like the plane was touching the water when we were finally able to spot some tarmac to land on
We go back yesterday from corfu, when we was coming into land, I thought, my god where's the tarmac 😆
Spectacular...and idyllic.....brilliant immersive video...
Thanks so much!
I went to Corfu many years ago, and I remember the spectacular landing, It looked like as if we were to land on water !
Really wonderful video.....very interesting and not boring, with different locations of filming.....very good...I love it....
Great video, love all the variation in views and angles. Top class!
I love your different angles and positions of your videos, fantastic work!
Glad u like it. Much appreciated!
Wonderful video mate! Definitely one of my favorite airports, super scenic! Too bad the trees are getting so high there haha. Well done! :)
Thanks mate!
the sounds of Greece. the cicadas drowned out the jets. A great spotting terrace at that bar too. Zante island runway is the same, approached over a busy road. Wow that blue banded Condor wasn't easy on the eye at all.
Great video!!! MD-82 wow what a catch!!!!!! Please put the take off as well.
Thanks so much! There are more videos to come. I have a detailed view of the MD-82 taking off. Let me put it in the next video.
So good to see this beauty still flying, best airliner ever.
Thank you X-Spot Aviation; agree it’s a fantastic location for spotting on either upper levels, on the walkway just south and on a small track really close east of the runway. We’ve spent plenty of hours there, either side of a Greek meal or some Mythos. Perfect!
Corfu is the biggest diamond too the crowne of Greece, good job my friend, very good !

So many creative camera angles make it much more than a planespotting video. This is really awesome work!
Thanks so much. Glad u like it!
You must also be sitting in a bar and filming animals?
The MD80 approach is stunning
Thanks for watching
What a beautiful approach to the airport, absolutely stunning!
Fantastic View
Such good footage of a really quite glamorous landing site - I really enjoyed this and really want to go back to Corfu 👌
super sweet DUCKS at 2:15, love it

Thanks, much appreciated!
This one is definitely on my list. Spectacular views and I loved the MD82, didn't know that BAC is still operating them.
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated.
Great location there in Corfu. I was there a few weeks ago. Lovely views!

Very nice!!! What do you use for a camera?
Great shots, from which hotel you were filming

Very good job, thank you for sharing
Beautiful video X very nice 😘👍
Thanks mate!
We were there last week. Yeah that is a good spotting place
Pure relaxation😉been there😀nice video👍next time catch my airplane on arrival😆
I know this area well. I once stayed in the Pink apartments at the end of the runway. (Anna’s Apartments) Fantastic for plane spotting.
I was about to stay there as well. Unfortunately was fully booked this time.
@@XSpotAviation Yes the last time I had to stay in the Ariti Hotel just up the road. I have been watching the planes from this location for the last 40 years. Back then the Livery’s were much more interesting and varied and quite a few wide bodied planes like the B767 A300 and A 330 were daily visitors
Stayed in the Ariti as well. It's true that the traffic was more interesting back in the days. However, still fun to film in such a scenic place.
Wow, that IS spectacular 👋👋👍
Thanks for watching
Yes is so beautiful, I was there on May.
I will be there in early September 👍😎
Enjoy!
We've just flown back yesterday from Corfu, stayed in the Royal Grand where you took some of the footage from. Great vid.
Many thanks for watching. Glad u like it.
Beautiful!
Nice work. What camera did you use? Cheers from MUC.
7:20 MD-80 SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
That looks so beautiful I wish I was there
yesterday was strong wind storm. some airplanes had to abort the landing. very spectacular
1:51 - Pretty sure I was on that flight. Same flight number. We arrived on the 10th July.
I did a hyperlapse video from Takeoff to Landing for this flight but sadly my phone ran out of battery before we landed :(
Fantastic holiday, just bleeding fantastic. 14 days of sunshine, kerosene fumes and noise, noise, noise. My wife left after 2 days, went of with some Greek bloke on his fishing boat. Someone saw the boat anchored in the bay. Said it spent hours rocking from side to side, even though the sea was flat calm. She still can hardly walk, something to do with a huge Greek sausage she ate.
Is her name Shirley Valentine?
Why don't they cut those frigging trees down? Or at least trim them so you can see the whole runway? Having said that, Wow, what a great plane spotting video!
I landed on that Jet2 Flight 951 from Manchester, but unfortunately was the worst 2 week holiday I have had. Its the first holiday I wanted to come back after a few days. It was so run down, empty buildings, graffiti it really needs tidying up. The Airport though was great, easy process both landing and departure. Wish I could have been in that Hotel watching all this.
Sorry to hear that. You are right about graffiti. And it's not only in Corfu. It is everywhere. It's nice to see one or two and beautifully drawn but they are everywhere in Greece and most of them are ugly too. I cannot understand why the Greek authorities don't do something drastic about it. Greetings from Athens.
Have many landings into Corfu
The two hotels on the corner are great for spotting. If you want a relatively quiet holiday, forget it.
is Corfu plane spotting still active?
I remember first landing Corfu in private jet people on restaurants balcony seemed so close
Try Wellington airport on a windy day, this is easy, not sure if I would buy a front row House inside a jet engine though?
Good morning for you pipol seing you sey aéroport international cafour 👏👏👏💪🤞✌️👍very very good 👏👏
Which camera and lens do you use
👌👌👌👍👍👍😍😍😍
QUE CHINGONERIA ES ALGO ESPECTACULAR ESTE AEROPUERTO ALGO MARAVILLOSO,,EN QUE LUGAR DEL MUNDO ESTA ESTA IMPRECIONANTE OBRA✈️✈️
Where is this taken from? Is it the actual airport or a pub nearby?
You should look at Skiathos lol
the md82 of european charter LZ-LDS is 29 years old, almost the same as the one that crashed in miami from the Dominican Republic, the one that fractured the front end
what is the name of this hotel in corfu i am so curious i would really like to book a room for a week
