Finnish Lakeland

Stockholm Archipelago
A vast and intricate network of over 30,000 islands and islets near the Swedish capital.

England's premier national park featuring dramatic glacial valleys and ribbon lakes.
Isle of Man

Howth Head

The right side (seat F) is ideal for observing the Stockholm archipelago mid-flight. Depending on the corridor, you may also see the southern edge of the Scottish Highlands or the Lake District. This side is north-facing, providing softer light and less glare for photography. In winter, watch for the 'blue hour' lighting over the North Sea as you head west.
