Which side of the plane to sit from Kos Airport (Kos) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of coastal and mountain views, including the stunning Croatian archipelago, the Venetian lagoon, and the best angles of the Alpine glaciers.
Cyclades Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the iconic white-washed islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Dalmatian Coast
Stunning views of Dubrovnik's walled city and the hundreds of elongated islands along the Croatian coastline.
Venice and the Lagoon
If the flight path hugs the Adriatic, you can clearly see the historic fish-shaped island of Venice and its surrounding marshes.
Tyrolean Alps
Spectacular vertical views of jagged granite peaks and turquoise glacial lakes in the heart of the Alps.
Moselle Valley
The final approach features the winding Moselle River and its famous steep-sloped vineyards near the Luxembourgish border.
Sit on the right (usually seat K or F) for the best coastal photography. This side is particularly spectacular during the middle hour of the flight over Croatia. For the best lighting, choose an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west, illuminating the Adriatic coast and the Alps beautifully.
Dodecanese Volcanics
Dramatic views of the volcanic island of Nisyros and the rugged western coast of Kos shortly after takeoff.
Pindus Mountains
The 'Spine of Greece' offers jagged limestone peaks and deep gorges as you cross into the Balkans.
Swiss Alpine Massifs
Distant views of the highest snow-capped peaks in Central Europe as the flight bypasses the Swiss-Austrian border.
Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies and rolling hills of southwestern Germany during the initial descent.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. It offers better views of the rugged, less-traveled interior mountains of Albania and Bosnia. Watch for the sharp contrast between the dry Greek landscape and the lush European forests as you move north.
