CDG → GOT
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior coastal scenery, showcasing the intricate Dutch engineering projects, the unique Frisian Islands, and the stunning rocky archipelago upon arrival in Gothenburg.
Dutch Delta Works
The massive dams and storm surge barriers along the Zeeland coast.
Frisian Islands
The 'Waddeneilanden' chain appearing as sandy crescents in the North Sea.
North Sea Coastline
Vast stretches of Dutch and German beaches and tidal flats.
Gothenburg Archipelago
Hundreds of granite islands and coastal villages during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the clearest photos of the coastline. As you descend into Gothenburg, the plane often turns over the Southern Archipelago, providing a world-class view of the Swedish coast. Forward of the wing is essential to see the intricate polder patterns of the Netherlands.
Benelux Urban Centers
Views of Brussels, Antwerp, and the dense canal networks of the interior.
Port of Hamburg
The massive container terminals and the winding Elbe river in Northern Germany.
Great Belt Bridge
The enormous suspension bridge connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand.
Swedish Boreal Forest
The characteristic landscape of Västergötland filled with dense spruce and pine.
The right side is excellent for evening flights to catch the sunset over the sea. Look for the lights of Copenhagen and the Øresund Bridge in the distance if the flight path tracks slightly east. During winter, the low sun angle highlights the topography of the German and Danish plains beautifully.
