LPL → KGS
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Kos Airport (Kos)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the snow-capped Central Alps and the dramatic transition from the Balkan mountains to the Aegean archipelago.
English Midlands
Views of the green landscapes and industrial heritage of central England shortly after departure from Liverpool.
Central Alpine Peaks
Breathtaking vistas of the Eiger, Jungfrau, and the vast glacier systems of the Swiss and Austrian Alps.
Venetian Lagoon
A chance to spot the unique island configuration of Venice and the winding coastline of the northern Adriatic.
Pindus Mountains
The rugged, limestone peaks and deep gorges of the Greek mainland's spine during the trans-Balkan leg.
Northern Dodecanese
Crystal clear views of Samos, Patmos, and Leros as the aircraft begins its final descent into Kos.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On early morning departures, the rising sun will illuminate the Alps on this side, making for incredible photography. Watch for the distinct 'boot' shape of Italy as you cross the Adriatic.
London Cityscape
Distant but clear views of the London metropolitan sprawl and the Thames Estuary during the initial climb southward.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake and the French-Swiss border mountains visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Athens and Attica
Aerial views of the historic Greek capital and the Saronic Gulf before entering the Aegean air corridor.
The Cyclades
A stunning mosaic of white-washed islands like Mykonos and Naxos scattered across the deep blue Mediterranean.
Bodrum Peninsula
The rugged Turkish coastline and the historic Castle of St. Peter visible just before the final turn into the airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It provides the best perspective of the famous Cycladic islands. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight for high-contrast island spotting.
