BGY β†’ GSE

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the iconic Lake Como shortly after takeoff, followed by a direct perspective of the high Swiss Alps and the rugged coastline of the Jutland Peninsula during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏞️

Lake Como

Visible almost immediately after departure from BGY, providing a stunning view of the Y-shaped lake and the surrounding Prealps.

πŸ”οΈ

Swiss Alps Peaks

Spectacular views of the Bernese Oberland and the high glaciated peaks of central Switzerland as you head north.

πŸ’§

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A massive freshwater lake shared by Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, clearly visible on the western side of the flight path.

πŸ™οΈ

Frankfurt Skyline

On clear days, the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the massive Frankfurt Airport hub can be seen as you traverse central Germany.

🌊

Wadden Sea

The unique intertidal zone and the North Frisian Islands appear along the western coast of the Jutland Peninsula.

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ

Gothenburg Archipelago

As the plane turns for its approach to GSE, the rocky islands and coastal inlets of the Swedish west coast come into view.

Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Alps without the sun's glare. For the approach into Gothenburg, the left side usually gets a better view of the southern archipelago during the final turn. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of flight for Lake Como.

Right Side Highlights
8.3
⛰️

Dolomites & Tyrol

The jagged limestone peaks of the Italian and Austrian Alps dominate the eastern horizon during the first third of the flight.

🍺

Munich and Bavaria

The sprawling Bavarian capital and the distinctive Allianz Arena can often be spotted to the east.

🌲

Harz Mountains

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, characterized by dense forests and the prominent Brocken peak.

πŸ—οΈ

Great Belt Bridge

One of the world's longest suspension bridges connecting the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen.

πŸ‡©πŸ‡°

Danish Islands

A beautiful mosaic of green islands and blue straits as the flight crosses over Denmark toward the Kattegat sea.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct setting sun. It offers better views of the Danish island landscape and the industrial ports of northern Germany. Look out for the distinct transition from the dense German forests to the flat, water-interspersed Danish terrain.
