Sweden's third-largest lake with its intricate network of bays and islands visible shortly after takeoff.
Oresund Bridge
The massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Malmo to Copenhagen is a major highlight roughly 40 minutes in.
Copenhagen
A clear view of the Danish capital and Kastrup Airport's runways as you cross the strait.
Hamburg Port
One of the world's busiest ports and the winding Elbe river are often visible during the mid-flight segment.
Bremen
The historic city center and the Weser river cutting through the landscape are visible as you head southwest.
Rhine River
The vital waterway that serves as the backdrop for the final approach into Dusseldorf city center.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. The highlight is the Oresund crossing, which occurs approximately 35-45 minutes after departure from Arlanda. During the final descent, the right side often offers a great view of the Rhine and the Dusseldorf TV tower.

Stockholm City
Immediately after takeoff, witness the 'Venice of the North' and its many islands if departing to the south.
Baltic Coast
Glimpses of the Swedish southeastern coastline and potentially the island of Oland in the distance.
Rugen Island
Look for the white chalk cliffs and sandy beaches of Germany's largest island as you enter German airspace.
Ruhr Valley
The dense industrial and residential landscape of western Germany becomes visible during the descent.
Book the left side for morning flights to minimize direct sun glare. Keep an eye out for the island of Rugen roughly 50-60 minutes into the flight. If the plane lands towards the west at DUS, you may see the northern industrial clusters of the city.
