Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Unrivaled views of the Croatian islands including Brač, Hvar, and the Kornati National Park shortly after takeoff.

πŸ’§

Lake Balaton

Central Europe's largest lake, known for its distinct milky-green color, visible as you cross Hungary.

πŸ”οΈ

High Tatra Mountains

The snow-capped granite peaks forming the natural border between Slovakia and Poland.

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ

Gotland & Γ–land

The large, limestone islands of Sweden sitting prominently in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

🚀

Stockholm Archipelago

A breathtaking mosaic of over 30,000 islands and islets visible during the approach to Stockholm.

The right side is the definitive choice for this route. Request a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Dalmatian coast. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, the Stockholm Archipelago is a must-see; the morning light is particularly flattering for photography as it illuminates the eastern faces of the islands. Watch for the High Tatras roughly midway through the flight.

This side also provides a better view of the Swedish mainland's dense forests and rural landscapes during the final approach. Keep an eye out for the distinct grid patterns of Polish and Swedish farmland.
