Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers unparalleled views of the dramatic Norwegian fjords and glaciers shortly after takeoff, followed by a scenic transition across the Swedish west coast and the Baltic Sea.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Hardangerfjord & Glaciers

Immediately after takeoff, witness the intricate fjords and the massive Folgefonna glacier to the east.

🏙️

Oslofjord & Telemark

As you head southeast, the rugged mountains of Telemark and the distant silhouette of the Oslofjord appear.

🇸🇪

Swedish West Coast

Clear views of the Gothenburg archipelago and the rocky shoreline of Bohuslän.

🏝️

Bornholm Island

A distinct view of the Danish island of Bornholm sitting isolated in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

🏖️

Gdańsk Bay

The flight enters Polish airspace near the Tricity area, showing the Hel Peninsula and the Baltic coastline.

Sit on the left for the most dramatic fjord landscapes in the first 20 minutes. For afternoon flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun, making it better for photography. Look for the white expanse of glaciers early in the flight, even in summer.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

North Sea Coastline

Views of the Norwegian 'South Cape' and the transition from the North Sea into the Skagerrak.

Jutland Peninsula

A broad overview of the flat, agricultural landscapes of northern Denmark and the Limfjord.

🌉

Danish Straits

🏙️

Wrocław Cityscape

As you descend into southern Poland, the historic city of Wrocław is often visible to the west.

🏭

Upper Silesian Basin

The industrial heart of Poland comes into view with its unique mix of urban density and greenery.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if flying in the evening. During the approach to Katowice, this side often provides a better view of the Sudetes mountains in the far distance if the weather is exceptionally clear.
