Kyiv Cityscape
Right after takeoff, view the Dnieper River and the sprawling urban landscape of the Ukrainian capital.

Bornholm Island

Lake Vättern

Oslofjord
On the descent from the south, enjoy the view of the islands and boats dotting the fjord leading to Oslo.
To maximize your experience, choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is also crucial for seeing the Oslo city center if the aircraft approaches from the south, which is common during summer months. Look for the white roof of the Oslo Opera House during the final 10 minutes of flight.
