The Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped massifs of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon.
Oresund Bridge
The massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen to Malmö across the blue straits.
Stockholm City
The 'Venice of the North' appears with its distinct islands and historic architecture.
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of nearly 30,000 islands and islets in the Baltic Sea.
Bothnian Coast
The rugged, indented shoreline of northern Sweden leading up toward Skellefteå.
Baltic Shipping Lanes
Watch for ferries and cargo ships navigating the narrow channels between Scandinavia and the Baltics.
The right side is unbeatable for coastal scenery. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun illuminating the Swedish coast and archipelago. Be ready with your camera about 2.5 hours into the flight as you approach the Oresund region. As you head further north, the coastal 'High Coast' area offers dramatic elevation changes visible primarily from this side.

Pyrenees Mountains
Dramatic views of the rugged peaks and deep valleys shortly after departure from Girona.
French Countryside
A patchwork of vineyards and agricultural fields stretching across central France.
Jutland Peninsula
The western coast of Denmark and the rolling dunes bordering the North Sea.
Swedish Interior
Vast expanses of dense coniferous forests and countless small inland lakes in southern Sweden.
Skåne Farmlands
The fertile yellow and green plains of Sweden's southernmost province.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Pyrenees immediately after takeoff. If flying during the afternoon, you will have the sun behind you for much of the journey, reducing glare when looking out over the European continent. It is also the better side for watching the sunset during late evening summer flights over Northern Europe.
