Which side of the plane to sit from Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh) to Gothenburg City Airport (Gothenborg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of Edinburgh's historic skyline immediately after takeoff and provides a more direct view of the expansive Gothenburg harbor and city center during the final approach.
Edinburgh City Center
Breathtaking views of Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and the distinctive peak of Arthur's Seat.
The Bass Rock
A steep-sided volcanic rock in the Firth of Forth, home to the world's largest colony of Northern gannets.
Gothenburg Harbor
Watch the busy shipping lanes and massive cranes of Scandinavia’s largest port during the descent.
Liseberg & City
Spot the tall rides of Liseberg amusement park and the 'Lipstick' building in the heart of Gothenburg.
Southern Archipelago
Thousands of small, car-free islands and traditional red wooden summer houses scattered along the Swedish coast.
The right side is essential for seeing the Edinburgh urban landscape. On arrival, this side typically looks toward the city center rather than out to sea. Book a seat well ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Swedish archipelago.
Forth Bridges
Unmatched views of the iconic UNESCO World Heritage rail bridge and the modern Queensferry Crossing shortly after takeoff.
St Andrews
Glance north to see the historic home of golf and the sprawling West Sands beach on the Fife coastline.
North Sea Platforms
Occasional sightings of offshore oil and gas infrastructure dotting the deep blue waters during the mid-flight cruise.
Marstrand
As the plane approaches the Swedish coast, look for the Carlsten Fortress sitting atop this famous sailing island.
Bohuslän Coastline
The rugged, rocky northern archipelago of Sweden with its distinct granite cliffs and scattered pine forests.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Fife coastline. For the arrival, if the wind is from the west, the left side provides a scenic sweep of the northern islands. Morning flights are ideal for capturing the light hitting the Scottish coast.
