Right Side Highlights

8.5

Øresund Bridge

A breathtaking view of the engineering marvel connecting Denmark and Sweden shortly after takeoff.

Malmö & Turning Torso

Spot Sweden's third-largest city and its iconic twisting skyscraper shortly after crossing the water.

Småland Forests

Dense evergreen forests and thousands of small, sparkling glacial lakes characteristic of southern Sweden.

Lake Roxen

The beautiful lake just north of Linköping becomes visible as the plane begins its final descent.

Linköping Cathedral

The prominent spire of one of Sweden's largest cathedrals is often visible during the final approach into LPI.

For the best experience, book a seat on the right side for morning flights to get the best light on the Øresund Bridge. The flight path typically follows a direct northeast trajectory, making the right side ideal for seeing the transition from the metropolitan Malmö area to the rural heart of Sweden. The descent into Linköping is quite fast, so have your camera ready as you pass over the Småland highlands.

Left Side Highlights

7.2

Copenhagen Skyline

Catch glimpses of the Danish capital's modern architecture and historic spires as you depart.

Øresund Strait

View the busy shipping lanes connecting the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.

Kronborg Castle

On clear days, see the distant silhouette of Shakespeare's 'Elsinore' at the narrowest point of the strait.

Scanian Coastline

The rugged yet beautiful western coast of the Skåne region unfolds beneath the wing.

Choose the left side if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to avoid harsh direct sunlight. Keep an eye out early in the flight for the distant view of the northern Oresund coast. Since it is a very short flight (under 50 minutes), ensure your window is clear before taxiing.
