KRS → GDN
Which side of the plane to sit from Kristiansand Airport (Kristiansand) to Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic landmarks, including a clear view of Bornholm and the scenic Sopot coastline during the final approach.
Skagerrak Seascape
Vast views of the shipping lanes where the North Sea and Baltic waters begin to mingle.
Bornholm Island
A detailed overhead view of the rocky Danish island, a prominent landmark in the middle of the Baltic.
Sopot Pier
Europe's longest wooden pier is clearly visible as the plane banks toward the Tricity airport.
Port of Gdynia
The extensive shipyard cranes and naval vessels of the Polish coast during final descent.
The right side is best for mid-flight geography; watch for Bornholm roughly 30 minutes after takeoff. Evening flights offer a spectacular sunset over the water from this side.
Kristiansand Skerries
Beautiful view of the rocky islands and summer houses surrounding Kristiansand right after takeoff.
Scania Coastline
Distant views of the southern Swedish mainland as the flight crosses the Baltic Sea.
Hel Peninsula
The iconic long sandbar separating the Bay of Puck from the open Baltic Sea, visible on northern approaches.
Great for initial coastal views of Norway. During the landing phase, look for the Hel Peninsula which provides a unique geographic sight. Morning flights avoid direct sun glare on this side.
