Hel Peninsula
The iconic 35-kilometer sandbar visible in its entirety shortly after departure from Gdańsk.
Swedish Coastline
The rugged archipelago of Blekinge and Småland's dense evergreen forests.
Kristiansand Archipelago
The beautiful 'Sørlandet' coastal islands and rocky skerries during the final descent.
Norwegian Fjords
Distant views of the mountainous terrain and deep inlets inland from the southern coast.
The highlight is the Hel Peninsula immediately after takeoff; ensure you are seated behind or ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view. In winter, the frozen Swedish lakes and snowy Norwegian coastline are particularly striking. Evening flights offer excellent golden hour lighting over the Swedish coast.

Gdańsk Cityscape
Aerial view of the historic city and the busy industrial port area during the initial climb.
Bornholm Island
The distant silhouette of the rocky Danish Baltic outpost visible mid-flight.
North Sea Gateway
The transition into the deep, shipping-heavy waters of the Skagerrak strait.
Choose the left side for fewer glare issues on morning flights. While mostly maritime, you may catch a distant glimpse of the Danish island of Bornholm depending on the specific airway used. Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion over the water.
