KGS → KRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Kos Airport (Kos) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is slightly superior due to the spectacular views of the Aegean coastline and the most dramatic perspectives of the High Tatras during the descent into Krakow.
Search flights from KGS to KRK
Turkish Riviera
Stunning views of the Bodrum peninsula and the indented coastline of Asia Minor.
Mount Athos
The dramatic Holy Mountain on the Chalkidiki peninsula, recognizable by its isolated, pointed peak.
Danube River
The winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it snakes through the Balkan plains.
High Tatras
The most spectacular alpine scenery of the trip, featuring the jagged, often snow-capped peaks on the Slovak-Polish border.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the High Tatras. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for the Aegean islands and the Greek coast.

Dodecanese Islands
Rugged views of Kalymnos and the surrounding deep blue Aegean waters immediately after takeoff.
Mount Olympus
The home of the gods is often visible to the west as you fly over the Greek mainland.
Belgrade
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers is a clear landmark while crossing Serbia.
Western Carpathians
Lush green and rocky peaks of the Slovakian mountain ranges during the final third of the flight.
The left side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. Look out for the distinct shape of Mount Olympus about 30 to 40 minutes into the flight. If arriving in Krakow at night, this side often provides views of the city lights before the final turn.
