GDN → NYO
Which side of the plane to sit from Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the Hel Peninsula immediately after takeoff from Gdansk and provides a better angle of the Swedish archipelago and Gotland on the approach to Skavsta.

Hel Peninsula
The iconic 35km-long sandbar 'scythe' that separates the Bay of Puck from the open Baltic Sea.
Puck Bay
The shallow, turquoise-tinted waters between the mainland and the peninsula, popular with kite-surfers.
Gotland & Öland
On high-visibility days, the distant silhouettes of Sweden's major islands are visible mid-flight.
Swedish Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of small islands and rocky outcrops as you cross the Swedish territorial waters.
Reflections
Spectacular sun glints off the Baltic water, particularly during late afternoon or sunset flights.
The Hel Peninsula is the star attraction; look out for it within the first 5-8 minutes of flight. If flying in winter, watch for ice formations in the shallow Bay of Puck. This side is preferred for evening flights to witness the sunset over the water.

Tricity Skyline
Clear views of Gdynia’s port infrastructure and the dense urban sprawl of Sopot and Gdansk during the initial climb.
Tri-City Landscape Park
The deep green canopy of the forested hills that border the Polish coastline.
Baltic Deep
Expansive views of the open Baltic Sea, often featuring commercial shipping lanes and cargo vessels.
Södermanland Coast
The rugged, rocky shoreline of southern Sweden as the plane begins its descent into the Skavsta area.
Nyköping
The historic red-roofed buildings and river of Nyköping visible just moments before touchdown.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for viewing the Polish coastline's industrial ports. Keep an eye out for the Swedish mainland's transition from sea to dense pine forests during the final 10 minutes of flight.
