Gothenburg Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the granite islands and coastal fishing villages immediately after takeoff.
Skagerrak Strait
The deep blue waters where the North Sea meets the Baltic sea channels.
Suffolk Heritage Coast
Iconic views of Southwold pier and the distinctive dome of Sizewell B power station.
Essex Countryside
The rolling green hills and dense woodlands of Epping Forest area during final approach.
Choose the right side to capture the Swedish islands without backlight. During winter, the low sun angle provides dramatic long shadows over the English landscape. Keep your camera ready 15 minutes before landing for the coastal transition.
