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

Berlin & Central Europe
Depending on the specific airway, the sprawl of Berlin or the Elbe River valley near Dresden can often be spotted.
Tatra Mountains
The high peaks of the Tatras on the border of Poland and Slovakia offer snow-capped views for much of the year.
Balkan Range
Rugged terrain across Bulgaria and Northern Greece, featuring deep valleys and isolated mountain villages.
Aegean Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of deep blue sea and white-washed islands like Naxos and Amorgos as you enter Greek airspace.
Nisyros Volcano
Just south of Kos, the perfectly circular volcanic island of Nisyros with its visible caldera is a major landmark.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Aegean Sea. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Mediterranean; the contrast between the deep blue water and the white Greek islands is most vivid from this side. Watch for the circular shape of Nisyros during the initial descent phase.
