Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Swedish coastline, the industrial ports of northern Poland, and a more dramatic approach over the rugged Dinaric Alps into Sarajevo.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
💧

Lake Mälaren

Sweeping views of Sweden's third-largest lake and the lush greenery surrounding the capital region.

⚓

Gdańsk Bay

The major industrial ports of the Polish Tri-City area and the long, thin Hel Peninsula.

⛪

Kraków

The medieval spire-filled skyline of Poland's historic cultural heart near the southern border.

🌊

Lake Balaton

Central Europe's largest lake, appearing as a long, turquoise stripe across the Hungarian landscape.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys that characterize the final descent into the Sarajevo basin.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Swedish coast. The final 20 minutes are spectacular; watch for the 1984 Olympic mountains, Igman and Bjelašnica, as the plane weaves through the valleys for landing at SJJ. Visibility is often clearest in late spring.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Stockholm Archipelago

Thousands of tiny forested islands and islets scattered across the Baltic Sea shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Warsaw Cityscape

The sprawling Polish capital with its distinct mix of modern skyscrapers and historical architecture.

🏔️

High Tatra Mountains

Sharp, snow-capped granite peaks forming the natural border between Poland and Slovakia.

🏰

Budapest & The Danube

The majestic Danube River winding through the heart of the Hungarian capital and its historic Parliament building.

🏞️

Drina River Valley

Deep canyons and turquoise waters carving through the dense forests of eastern Bosnia.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. Keep an eye out about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the distinctive curve of the Danube River near Budapest. In winter, the snow cover on the High Tatras is particularly striking from this side.
