Which side of the plane to sit from Kos Airport (Kos) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior perspective of the Mediterranean coastline, the stunning turquoise waters of the Dalmatian Coast, and a more direct view of the high peaks of the Austrian Alps before descending into Southern Germany.
Aegean Archipelagos
Panoramic views of Kalymnos, Leros, and the northern Dodecanese islands immediately after takeoff from Kos.
Dalmatian Coastline
The intricate network of Croatian islands and the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea are prominently visible.
Austrian Alps
Deep views into the high alpine valleys and glacier-topped peaks of the Zillertal and Hohe Tauern ranges.
Lake Constance
As the flight nears Germany, the massive expanse of the Bodensee appears, marking the border with Switzerland and Austria.
Choose a seat in the front or rear of the wing to capture the Adriatic's blue hues. For morning flights, the sun is behind the plane, reducing glare on this side. During winter, the Alpine snow cover provides an incredible high-contrast landscape about 2 hours into the flight.
Bodrum Peninsula
Excellent views of the Turkish mainland and the rugged coastline of the DatΓ§a peninsula shortly after departure.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods stands out as a massive massif as the plane crosses over northern Greece.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, karst mountain landscapes of Montenegro and Bosnia offer a stark, dramatic terrain.
Swabian Jura
During the descent into Stuttgart, the rolling hills and castle-dotted escarpments of Southwest Germany are best seen here.
Look east right after takeoff to see the Turkish Riviera. This side is better for spotting the urban sprawl of Thessaloniki and the rugged interior of the Balkans. In the late afternoon, this side provides a softer, golden-hour light over the German countryside during approach.
