Which side of the plane to sit from Kos Airport (Kos) to Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Aegean archipelagos upon departure, the sweeping bends of the Danube in Central Europe, and a more dramatic perspective of the Oslofjord islands during the descent into Rygge.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Dodecanese Gems

Aerial views of the islands of Kalymnos and Leros immediately following takeoff from Kos.

🏔️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, often snow-capped peaks crossing through Montenegro and Serbia.

🏙️

Budapest Panorama

Possible views of the Danube River cutting through the heart of the Hungarian capital.

🌊

Pomeranian Coast

The long, sandy stretches of the Polish Baltic coastline before crossing the sea.

⚓

Oslofjord Entry

Dramatic views of the deep blue waters and forested islands of the inner Oslofjord on approach.

On evening flights, the left side is treated to a sunset over the horizon for much of the journey. During the final descent into Moss, the left side usually provides the best view of the archipelago landscape that defines the region. Sit forward of the wing to ensure your view of the Balkan mountains is not obstructed.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🇹🇷

Bodrum Peninsula

Stunning views of the Turkish mainland and its deeply indented Aegean coastline.

⛰️

Carpathian Vistas

Distances views of the High Tatras mountains marking the border between Slovakia and Poland.

🏰

Vistula River

The winding path of Poland's longest river as it traverses the central plains.

🇸🇪

Bohuslän Coast

The rocky, granite-strewn archipelago of the Swedish west coast near Gothenburg.

🌲

Østfold Forests

The transition into the dense pine and spruce forests of Southern Norway during the final miles.

Choose the right side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Turkish and Swedish coastlines perfectly. This side is particularly interesting when passing over Sweden, as it offers a clearer view of the transition from the Baltic Sea to the vast Scandinavian timberlands.
