The Baltic Sea
A wide crossing of the Baltic Sea offering deep blue vistas and maritime traffic.
The Archipelago Sea
A spectacular sight of thousands of tiny islands and skerries between the Åland Islands and the Finnish mainland.
Turku Coastline
Views of Finland's oldest city and its bustling port area as the plane follows the southern coast.
Helsinki Approach
Depending on the wind direction, you may see the Helsinki skyline and the Suomenlinna sea fortress during final descent.
This is the preferred side for the 'Archipelago Sea' view, which is the flight's scenic highlight. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses. In winter, look for the 'ice roads' and frozen sea patterns between the islands.
