Stockholm Archipelago
Thousands of granite islands and forested islets stretching out from the Swedish capital into the Baltic Sea.
Baltic Shipping Lanes
Frequent sightings of large cruise ferries and cargo ships traversing the busy maritime routes between Sweden and Poland.
Vistula River Meanders
The winding path of Poland's longest river as the aircraft aligns for its descent into Warsaw Chopin.
PGE Narodowy
The distinctive red and white national stadium of Poland is often visible on the left during northern approaches.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. The takeoff from Arlanda usually heads south, providing an immediate panoramic view of the 'Venice of the North'. Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes and the last 15 minutes of the flight for the most iconic landmarks.

Södermanland Coast
The rugged and green coastline of mainland Sweden as the plane leaves the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Gdańsk Bay
Distant views of the Polish 'Tricity' area and the sandy beaches of the Baltic coast as you cross into Polish airspace.
Polish Countryside
A vast patchwork of colorful agricultural fields and rural villages typical of the Masovian Voivodeship.
Warsaw Western Suburbs
The industrial and residential expansion of the capital city during the final flaps-down configuration.
The right side is excellent for sunset flights, offering a warm glow over the Baltic Sea and the Polish plains. It provides a more stable view of the horizon and the transition from sea to land near the Pomeranian region. Watch for the distinct change in landscape from the forested Swedish terrain to the flat, organized farmlands of Poland.
