AAR โ†’ GOT

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic Gothenburg Archipelago during the descent and a clear look at the Danish Djursland coastline shortly after takeoff.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
๐ŸŒŠ

Djursland Coastline

Striking views of the Danish eastern coast and the cliffs around Sangstrup Klint immediately after departure.

๐Ÿ˜๏ธ

Grenaa Harbor

A bird's-eye view of one of Denmark's major ferry ports connecting to Sweden.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Gothenburg Archipelago

Breathtaking views of the thousands of rocky islands and islets that characterize the approach to Western Sweden.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Gothenburg Cityscape

Panoramic views of the city harbor, the Ullevi Stadium, and the Gothia Towers as the plane maneuvers for landing.

๐Ÿšข

Stena Line Ferries

Look for the large passenger ferries crossing the Kattegat below.

For the most scenic experience, book a window seat on the left. The descent into GOT is short, so keep your camera ready as soon as you cross the Swedish coastline. Morning flights are particularly beautiful as the sun rises over Sweden, illuminating the islands.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Anholt Island

The isolated 'desert' island in the middle of the Kattegat sea, known for its unique sand dunes.

๐ŸŒŠ

Central Kattegat

Vast blue expanses where the North Sea meets the Baltic waters.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Halland Coastline

The long, sandy beaches of the Swedish west coast near Varberg and Kungsbacka.

๐ŸŒฒ

Vรคstra Gรถtaland Forests

Dense Swedish pine and spruce forests that dominate the landscape surrounding Landvetter Airport.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Lygnern

A large, elongated lake visible just south of the flight path during the final approach.

The right side is excellent for spotting remote islands like Anholt. If flying in the late afternoon, this side offers a warm glow over the Swedish mainland. It is generally quieter for photography due to the sun position during southbound-to-eastward maneuvers.
