Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior viewing experience, featuring potential glimpses of the French Alps to the east, the winding Rhine River through Germany, and a breathtaking approach over the Swedish archipelago into Skavsta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Balearic Sea

Deep azure waters of the Mediterranean with views extending toward the Balearic Islands in the early flight stages.

🏔️

The French Alps

Spectacular long-range views of the Western Alps' highest peaks while cruising over eastern France.

🥨

Rhine River Valley

The silver thread of the Rhine River winding through the industrial and natural heartlands of Western Germany.

🏝️

Öland and Gotland

Views of Sweden's largest islands sitting in the Baltic Sea, characterized by limestone plateaus and coastal cliffs.

🛶

Nyköping Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of thousands of rocky islands and inlets as the plane aligns for the runway at Skavsta.

The right side is ideal for morning flights, capturing the sunrise over the Mediterranean. The absolute highlight is the approach into NYO; ensure your window is clear for the archipelago views, which are among the best in Northern Europe. Watch for the Alps roughly 60-80 minutes into the journey.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Costa Blanca Coastline

Dramatic views of the Alicante shoreline and the high-rise skyline of Benidorm immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Pyrenees Vista

Distant but sharp views of the snow-capped Pyrenees mountains marking the border between Spain and France.

🏰

Loire Valley

Aerial perspective of the lush green landscapes and historic chateaus of central France.

🌉

Great Belt Bridge

The massive engineering marvel connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand across the Baltic straits.

🌲

Södermanland Forests

Dense Swedish woodlands punctuated by thousands of small, mirror-like glacial lakes during the final descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over Europe. It provides the best view of the Spanish 'Manhattan' (Benidorm) shortly after departure. Keep your camera ready for the intricate patterns of the Danish coastline.
