Search flights from BMA to BRU
Drottningholm Palace
The private residence of the Swedish royal family is visible almost immediately after takeoff from BMA.
The Kattegat
The maritime transition between the Baltic and North Sea, often filled with large cargo vessels.
The Wadden Sea
UNESCO World Heritage tidal flats and the Frisian Islands stretching along the German and Dutch coasts.
IJsselmeer
The vast reclaimed polders and the massive Afsluitdijk dam separating the lake from the sea.
Amsterdam and Schiphol
On clear days, the concentric canal rings of Amsterdam and the busy runways of Schiphol are clearly visible.
Port of Antwerp
One of the world's largest industrial ports with intricate canal systems and massive ships.
The Right Side is essential for the Bromma departure to see the Royal Palace at Drottningholm. Over the Netherlands, look for the distinct geometric patterns of reclaimed land (polders). The best time for this route is late afternoon when the sun is to the south, illuminating the North Sea coastline without creating harsh reflections on the cabin window.
Book Hotels in Brussels
Stockholm City Center
A stunning view of Gamla Stan and the central islands immediately after departure from Bromma.
Lake Vättern
View the deep blue waters and long shoreline of Sweden's second-largest lake during the cruise phase.
Lolland and Falster
The southern Danish islands and the massive offshore wind farms dotting the Baltic Sea.
Hamburg Urban Area
The massive container port and the Elbe river snaking through Germany's second-largest city.
Limburg Countryside
The rolling green hills and patchwork fields of eastern Belgium during the descent.
For the best views of Lake Vättern, ensure you are flying during mid-day light to see the water clarity. During winter flights, this side often catches the low-angle sun, providing a warm glow over the German plains. Keep an eye out for Hamburg's Alster lakes which appear as bright blue spots amidst the urban grid.
