Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the iconic Hel Peninsula during departure from Poland and a sweeping panorama of the Gothenburg harbor and city center during the approach into Sweden.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Tricity Coastline

Excellent views of Sopot's pier and Gdynia's modern waterfront immediately after takeoff.

🎣

Hel Peninsula

The unique, narrow 'scythe-shaped' sandbar stretching 35km into the Baltic Sea.

🏖️

Halland Beaches

The sandy coastline of southern Sweden near Halmstad and Varberg as you cross the coast.

🏗️

Gothenburg Harbor

Views of the massive Port of Gothenburg, the largest port in the Nordic countries.

🏘️

Gothenburg City

A close-up view of the city center, Liseberg amusement park, and the iconic 'Lipstick' building.

Sit on the right side for the best landmarks. Watch for the Hel Peninsula approximately 5-10 minutes after takeoff. During the descent into Gothenburg City Airport, the right side usually provides a much more detailed view of the urban landscape and the northern granite islands of Bohuslän.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Baltic Sea Expanse

Deep blue views of the central Baltic Sea crossing between Poland and Sweden.

🇩🇰

Bornholm Island

On clear days, the Danish island of Bornholm is visible to the south-west mid-flight.

🏝️

Southern Archipelago

View of the scattered rocky islands south of Gothenburg as the plane begins its descent.

🌅

Kattegat Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the sunset over the sea for evening flights.

Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid direct glare from the sun when flying northwest. It offers a peaceful view of the Swedish archipelago's outer rim during the final approach stages.
