Central London
Clear views of Wembley Stadium, the City of London, and the Thames if departing towards the east.
The Wash & Norfolk
The unique square-shaped bay on the East Anglian coast and the expansive Norfolk coastline.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy arrays like Hornsea, visible as geometric patterns on the water.
Gothenburg Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of rocky islands and coastal villages during the descent into GOT.
Book a window seat on the left (Seat A) for the best chance of seeing the Swedish coastline. For morning flights, this side remains in the shade, reducing glare for photography. During the winter, the archipelago looks particularly striking when the smaller inner islands are dusted with snow or ice.

Thames Estuary
The industrial heart of the UK's shipping lanes and the sprawling container ports of Tilbury and Felixstowe.
North Sea Transit
Spotting large cargo vessels and tankers navigating the busy maritime routes between the UK and Scandinavia.
Vinga Island
The historic lighthouse and landmark island marking the entrance to the Gothenburg shipping channel.
Swedish Boreal Forests
Vast, dense coniferous forests and small inland lakes that characterize the terrain surrounding Landvetter Airport.
The right side (Seat F) is excellent for catching the sunset over the North Sea on late afternoon flights. Keep your eyes peeled for the Frisian Islands of the Netherlands and Germany in the distance if the flight path is southerly. Ensure you look out about 15 minutes before landing for the deep green textures of the Swedish mainland.
