Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg) to Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (Lyon)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic perspective of the Jura Mountains and the distant French Alps during the final descent, along with clear views of the Danish islands early in the flight.
Search flights from GOT to LYS
Danish Archipelago
Aerial views of the islands of Zealand and Lolland, often showcasing the white chalk cliffs of Møn in the distance.
Harz Mountains
The densely forested highlands of central Germany, providing a dark green contrast to the surrounding plains.
Jura Mountains
Dramatic limestone ridges and deep valleys marking the transition from Switzerland into eastern France.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French Alps, including Mont Blanc, are visible on the far horizon to the southeast.
Sit on the left for the most scenic descent. The Jura mountain range is best viewed approximately 25 minutes before landing. In the morning, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photography of the mountain ridges without glare.

Gothenburg Archipelago
Immediate views of the rugged Swedish west coast and rocky islands scattered across the Kattegat.
Storebælt Bridge
A clear view of the massive engineering feat connecting the Danish islands of Fyn and Zealand.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric 'patchwork' patterns of the prestigious wine estates near Dijon and Beaune.
Lyon Cityscape
If landing from the north, views of the historic Presqu'île district and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if you are on an evening flight. Keep your camera ready during the initial 10 minutes for the Swedish coastline and the final 10 minutes for a potential view of Lyon's urban center if the flight path circles the city from the west.
