Central London
Exceptional views of the Thames, the Shard, and the London Eye during an easterly departure or loop.
Wadden Islands
A unique chain of islands and tidal flats stretching along the Dutch and German coasts.
Oresund Bridge
The famous road and rail link connecting Copenhagen, Denmark, and Malmö, Sweden.
Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning collection of nearly 30,000 islands and islets as the plane descends into Arlanda.
The right side is premier for landmarks. To see London, pray for an easterly takeoff. As you cross from Denmark to Sweden, keep your eyes peeled for the Oresund Bridge below. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, the archipelago view is world-class; morning flights provide the best lighting for these islands.
Book Hotels in Stockholm
Windsor Castle
Located just west of Heathrow, this historic royal residence is often visible during the initial climb.
North Sea Expanse
A long stretch of deep blue water as the aircraft transits from the UK towards Scandinavia.
West Danish Coast
Views of the sandy beaches and wind farms along the Jutland peninsula's western edge.
Lake Vättern
One of Sweden's largest lakes, often appearing as a massive blue sapphire amidst the green forests.
Choose the left side if you want to see the sprawling greenery of the English countryside and the Swedish interior. For evening flights, this side catches the sunset light. Watch for the northern horizon during winter flights for a slim chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis once in Swedish airspace.
