Which side of the plane to sit from Comiso Airport (Comiso) to Kaunas International Airport (Kaunas)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an exceptional perspective of Mount Etna immediately after departure, followed by a panoramic view of the Adriatic coastline and the jagged peaks of the High Tatra Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐ŸŒ‹

Mount Etna

Europe's most active volcano is visible shortly after takeoff from Comiso, often trailing a plume of smoke.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Gargano Peninsula

The 'spur' of the Italian boot, reaching into the Adriatic with white limestone cliffs and lush forests.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

A stunning sequence of hundreds of Croatian islands set against the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

High Tatra Mountains

The highest range in the Carpathian Mountains, offering dramatic alpine scenery on the Slovak-Polish border.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Warsaw Skyline

On a clear day, the modern skyscrapers of Poland's capital are visible as the flight path passes to the east.

The right side is the 'scenic winner' for this route. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff for Mount Etna. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on the opposite side of the plane, providing perfect, saturated lighting for the Croatian coast and the High Tatras. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the mountain views.

Left Side Highlights
7.3
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Italian Apennines

The rugged central spine of Italy, featuring limestone peaks and deep valleys as you head north.

๐ŸŒŠ

Lake Balaton

Central Europe's largest lake, known as the 'Hungarian Sea', showcasing distinct turquoise waters.

๐Ÿฐ

Krakรณw Cityscape

A clear view of the historic Polish city, its medieval Old Town, and the winding Vistula River.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Masurian Lake District

Thousands of post-glacial lakes scattered across northern Poland, creating a complex blue and green mosaic.

๐ŸŒฒ

Nemunas River Loops

The dramatic, forested bends of the Nemunas River as the aircraft begins its final descent into Kaunas.

Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side is superior for spotting the architectural layout of Krakรณw and the vastness of Lake Balaton in Hungary. In winter, the frozen lakes of Northern Poland are particularly striking from this window.
