IKA β GOT
Which side of the plane to sit from Imam Khomeini International Airport (Tehran) to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior geographic journey, featuring the vast Caspian Sea, distant views of the Caucasus Mountains, and the stunning Swedish archipelago upon arrival.
Caspian Sea Coast
The southern shoreline of the world's largest inland sea, showing the contrast between the water and the lush Alborz foothills.
Caucasus Peaks
Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped Greater Caucasus mountain range to the north.
Black Sea Expanse
A long segment flying parallel to or over the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.
Carpathian Mountains
The dramatic, forested ridges of the Carpathians stretching across Romania and Slovakia.
Gothenburg Archipelago
During the final descent, a spectacular view of the rocky islands and coastal inlets of Western Sweden.
The Caspian Sea view is best within the first 30-45 minutes of flight; look north early. In winter, the snow cover on the Caucasus and Carpathians is a highlight. Choose a window seat towards the front for the best panoramic view of the Swedish coastline during the approach into Landvetter.
Tehran Cityscape
Aerial views of the sprawling Tehran metropolis and the iconic Milad Tower shortly after takeoff.
Anatolian Plateau
The rugged and arid high-altitude terrain of central Turkey with its unique geological folds.
Central European Plains
A patchwork of organized farmland and historic cities across Poland and Northern Germany.
Danish Straits
The intricate waterways and bridges connecting Denmark and Sweden, including the Oresund region.
Sit on the left for better city views during the initial climb out of Tehran. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the European landscape as the sun begins to set in the west. Avoid seats directly over the wing to maintain a clear view of the complex European field patterns.
