KOK โ†’ POR

Which side of the plane to sit from Kokkola-Pietarsaari Airport (Kruunupyy) to Pori Airport (Pori)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The flight path generally parallels the coastline of the Gulf of Bothnia, providing the Right Side with expansive sea views and a clear look at the intricate archipelago system.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
๐ŸŒŠ

Gulf of Bothnia

Uninterrupted views of the northern Baltic Sea reaching toward the Swedish horizon.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Coastal Skerries

Thousands of tiny, rocky islands and islets that form the fringe of the Finnish coast.

๐Ÿšข

Maritime Activity

Visible shipping lanes with cargo vessels and local fishing boats navigating the shallow coastal waters.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Mรคntyluoto Port

The industrial harbor and wind farms near Pori become visible during the final descent phase.

This is the premier side for sunset flights, as the sun dips directly into the sea to the west. On clear days, the contrast between the dark blue water and the granite islands is stunning. Watch for the transition from the rugged Kvarken-style coast to the sandy beaches of Yyteri as you approach Pori.

Left Side Highlights
6.4
๐ŸŒฒ

Ostrobothnian Taiga

Dense clusters of spruce and pine forests that define the Western Finnish landscape.

๐Ÿšœ

Agricultural Patchwork

Vibrant green and gold farm plots organized in the traditional strip-farming style of the region.

๐Ÿ˜๏ธ

Inland Settlements

Bird's-eye views of quiet rural towns and the winding river systems that connect them.

Sit on this side during morning flights for soft, direct sunlight illuminating the forest canopy. It offers a more 'classic' Finnish landscape view dominated by wood and water, though it lacks the dramatic coastline seen on the opposite side.
