Södermanland Lakes
Vibrant blue lakes nestled within the deep green forests of southern Sweden shortly after takeoff.
Öresund Strait
Distant views of the maritime corridor between Sweden and Denmark, often featuring heavy shipping traffic.
Mecklenburg Lake District
The 'Land of a Thousand Lakes' in northern Germany provides a stunning mosaic of water and land.
Berlin City Center
Exceptional views of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and the Spree river if the flight approaches BER from the north.
Choose the right side for the best chance to see the Berlin skyline. During winter months, the frozen lakes in the Mecklenburg region are particularly beautiful. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side without the glare of the sun.

Stockholm Archipelago
Breathtaking views of thousands of granite islands as the plane climbs south from Arlanda.
Gotland and Öland
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Sweden's largest islands are visible across the Baltic.
Rügen Chalk Cliffs
The striking white cliffs of Jasmund National Park on the German coast appear during descent.
Szczecin Lagoon
The expansive water body marking the natural border between Germany and Poland.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Baltic Sea. It is also the better side for spotting the Swedish coastline during the initial phase of the flight. Watch for the industrial ports of northern Germany as you cross the coastline near Stralsund.
