KUNCIY

Which side of the plane to sit from Kaunas International Airport (Kaunas) to Comiso Airport (Comiso)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the stunning turquoise waters of Lake Balaton and the dramatic mosaic of the Croatian archipelago along the Adriatic coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

Krakow Skyline

Views of the historic Polish city and the Vistula River winding through the valley.

💧

Lake Balaton

The 'Hungarian Sea' with its unique milky-turquoise waters stretching across the horizon.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Hundreds of white-stone islands scattered across the crystal-clear Croatian coast.

⛴️

Adriatic Crossing

A vast expanse of deep blue water often dotted with cruise ships and ferries.

🍋

Sicilian South Coast

The rugged limestone plateaus and baroque towns of the Val di Noto during landing.

The right side is the winner for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare on the window. It provides the most consistent coastal views while transiting the Balkans and entering Italian airspace over the Ionian Sea. Keep your camera ready for the island chains of Croatia.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Lithuanian Lakelands

Lush green forests and glacial lakes surrounding Kaunas immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Budapest & The Danube

A distant but clear view of the Hungarian capital and the winding Danube River.

⛰️

High Tatras

The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Carpathian Mountains on the Polish-Slovak border.

🌊

Gargano National Park

The 'spur' of the Italian boot protruding into the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

🌋

Mount Etna

The massive, often smoking silhouette of Europe's most active volcano as you descend into Sicily.

Sit on the left if you want a chance to see the sun rising over the Baltic region on early flights. This side is also prime for spotting Mount Etna during the final approach into Comiso, as the flight path usually passes to the west of the volcano.
