The stunning 35km long sandbar separating the Bay of Puck from the Baltic Sea, visible right after takeoff.
Baltic Sea Coast
Continuous views of the sandy beaches and coastal resorts of Poland and Germany.
Hamburg & Elbe River
Look out for one of Europe's largest ports and the distinctive Elbphilharmonie building if the route trends north.
East Frisian Islands
A chain of islands along the German coast known for their unique tidal flats and sand dunes.
English Channel Glimpse
On a northern approach to BVA, the distant horizon meets the North Sea and the start of the English Channel.
Beauvais Cathedral
The massive, incomplete Gothic structure of Saint Pierre dominates the skyline during final approach.
The Hel Peninsula is the 'must-see' feature of this route; ensure you are looking out immediately after the initial climb. For sunset flights, the right side will face north, avoiding direct glare and offering beautiful 'blue hour' colors over the Baltic and North Seas.
