Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Kos Airport (Kos)?

Our Recommendation
9.0

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular sequence of the Swiss Alps followed by an extensive and clear view of the winding Croatian Dalmatian coastline and the Greek Cyclades.

Right Side Highlights
9.0
🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Unrivaled views of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau peaks in the Swiss Alps.

🏖️

Dalmatian Archipelago

The stunning network of hundreds of islands along the coast of Croatia.

🏰

Dubrovnik

The iconic walled 'Pearl of the Adriatic' visible before crossing into Montenegro.

⛰️

Pindus Mountains

The rugged, wild limestone peaks of northwestern mainland Greece.

🌅

The Cyclades

Panoramic views of Mykonos, Naxos, and the volcanic caldera of Santorini.

The right side is the clear winner for scenic variety. For afternoon flights, be aware of strong sunlight; however, evening flights offer a breathtaking golden hour over the Croatian islands. Use a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the island chains.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

Glacial peaks and high-altitude lakes of the Tyrolean region.

💧

Lake Garda

The northern tip of Italy's largest lake visible nestled in the mountains.

⛰️

Mount Olympus

🏝️

Northern Sporades

Dense green islands like Skiathos and Skopelos scattered in the blue Aegean.

🏘️

Select a seat in the front half of the cabin for the best view of Mount Olympus. This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare and enjoy the vibrant colors of the Aegean Sea.
