Which side of the plane to sit from Birmingham International Airport (Birmingham) to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior coastal views, featuring the Norfolk coast upon departure, the sweeping sands of the Danish West Coast, and a stunning entry over the Gothenburg archipelago.
Peak District National Park
Distant views of the rolling green hills and dales of Derbyshire shortly after takeoff from Birmingham.
The Wash & Norfolk Coast
Observe the unique square-shaped bay and the vast salt marshes of the East Anglian coastline as you leave the UK.
Jutland Coastline
The long, sandy beaches and dunes of Denmark's west coast appear after the North Sea crossing.
Gothenburg Archipelago
A breathtaking view of thousands of rocky islets and islands dotting the Kattegat sea during the descent.
Gothenburg Skyline
Views of the Liseberg tower and the industrial harbor area during the final approach path into Landvetter.
Sit on the left for the best morning light when traveling eastbound, avoiding direct sun glare. The archipelago is the scenic highlight; watch for it roughly 15-20 minutes before touchdown. If the flight path approaches from the north, you will get a perfect view of the city center.
Midlands Urban Sprawl
Aerial perspective of Birmingham, Coventry, and the surrounding historic Warwickshire countryside.
North Sea Shipping Lanes
Spot massive container ships and distant offshore wind farms in one of the world's busiest maritime routes.
Frisian Islands
Distant views of the chain of islands stretching along the Dutch and German coasts to the south.
Västra Götaland Forests
Endless expanses of dense pine and spruce forests characteristic of the Swedish landscape.
Lake Landvettersjön
A close-up view of the deep blue lakes and traditional red cottages nestled near the airport perimeter.
The right side is ideal for spotting maritime activity and offshore infrastructure in the North Sea. During winter afternoon flights, this side catches the warm hues of the early Nordic sunset. Upon landing, look for the 'Stuga' (traditional red houses) scattered throughout the forest canopy.
