GSE → GDN
Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg City Airport (Gothenborg) to Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is slightly superior due to the spectacular views of the Gothenburg archipelago immediately after takeoff and the iconic Hel Peninsula during the descent into Gdańsk.
Gothenburg Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of rocky islands, islets, and coastal villages like Hönö and Öckerö.
Bornholm Island
On clear days, the distinct silhouette of this Danish island can be seen sitting in the middle of the Baltic.
Hel Peninsula
The incredibly narrow, 35km long sand spit that separates the Bay of Puck from the open Baltic Sea.
Port of Gdańsk
Views of the container terminals and the historic Westerplatte site where WWII began.
The Right Side is essential for seeing the Hel Peninsula, which is the most unique geographic feature of this route. It is usually visible 10-15 minutes before landing. Late afternoon flights offer beautiful sunset reflections over the Baltic islands.
Gothenburg Cityscape
Aerial view of the Göta River, the Gothia Towers, and the urban layout of Sweden's second-largest city.
Southern Swedish Forests
Vast stretches of dense Scandinavian woodland and small inland lakes typical of the Småland region.
Hanöbukten Bay
The sweeping coastline of southern Sweden as the flight transitions over the Baltic Sea.
Gdynia Port
A clear view of the massive cranes and industrial infrastructure of one of the Baltic's busiest ports.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a better view of the 'Tricity' urban sprawl (Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia) during a northern approach to runway 29.
