Gdansk Shipyards
Aerial view of the historic industrial port and the mouth of the Vistula river right after takeoff.
Öland and Gotland
Vistas of Sweden's large islands and the intricate archipelago of the southeastern Swedish coast.
Gothenburg Area
As the plane crosses over Sweden, you can often spot the lights or skyline of Sweden's second-largest city.
Oslo City Center
During the final approach, this side typically offers a spectacular view of the Barcode district and the Opera House.
Holmenkollen
Look for the iconic illuminated ski jump tower perched on the hills overlooking the city during the descent.
Choose the right side for the most iconic landmarks. For evening flights, the sunset over the sea to the west will illuminate the Swedish and Norwegian landscapes beautifully. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of Oslo's city center and the Holmenkollen ski jump as the aircraft aligns with the runway at OSL.

Hel Peninsula
A stunning view of the long, narrow 35km sandbar that curves into the Baltic Sea shortly after departure.
Bornholm Island
On clear days, the Danish rocky island of Bornholm is visible in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Oresund Region
Distant views of the bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark if the flight path tracks slightly west.
Skagerrak Strait
The deep blue waters where the North Sea meets the Baltic, signaling the entry into Norwegian airspace.
Vestfold Coast
The rugged western shore of the Oslofjord featuring numerous small islands and coastal towns like Sandefjord.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the morning to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the Hel Peninsula's unique shape immediately after takeoff from GDN. During the descent, you will see the western ripples of the Oslofjord, though usually with less urban detail than the right side.
