GSE → BVA
Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg City Airport (Gothenborg) to Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is significantly more scenic, offering a continuous view of the Swedish archipelago, the German-Dutch coastline, and the historic cities of the Low Countries.
Gothenburg Archipelago
Dense clusters of rocky islands and coastal villages immediately after takeoff from GSE.
Wadden Sea
The unique intertidal zone and the string of Frisian Islands along the German-Dutch coast.
Port of Rotterdam
The sprawling industrial landscape and shipping lanes of Europe's largest seaport.
Belgian Urban Centers
Bird's-eye views of densely populated metropolitan areas like Antwerp or Ghent.
French Patchwork
The distinct agricultural patterns and rolling fields of the Hauts-de-France region.
Book a window seat on the left for the best land-based landmarks. Morning flights offer crisp lighting over the North Sea islands, while evening flights capture the glowing lights of the Benelux urban corridors. During winter, the low sun angle highlights the relief of the French countryside during descent.
The Kattegat
The vast maritime passage between Sweden and Denmark's Jutland peninsula.
Jutland West Coast
Long, sandy stretches of Denmark's western shoreline visible in the distance.
Offshore Wind Farms
Giant arrays of wind turbines rising from the North Sea depths in geometric patterns.
English Channel Approaches
Vast maritime traffic area where the North Sea begins to narrow toward the Channel.
Picardy Forests
Lush woodland areas and river valleys surrounding the approach to Beauvais-Tillé.
The right side is ideal for travelers seeking a tranquil view of the open sea. It is particularly striking during late afternoon or sunset flights when the sun sets directly over the water, creating a vibrant horizon. Watch for the geometric white dots of North Sea wind farms which are more prominent on this side.
