Search flights from LYS to GOT
Jura Mountains
Impressive limestone ridges and folded mountain structures visible shortly after departure from Lyon.
The Black Forest
A vast expanse of dense evergreen canopy covering the rolling hills of southwestern Germany.
Frankfurt Skyline
A clear view of Germany's financial hub with its unique cluster of high-rise skyscrapers along the Main river.
Port of Hamburg
One of the world's busiest ports, featuring massive container terminals and the wide Elbe River estuary.
Fehmarn Belt
The maritime stretch between Germany and Denmark, often filled with cargo ships and ferries.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. The highlight is the mid-flight transit over Germany where major cities and varied topography are most visible. Look out for the distinct transition from the forested German uplands to the flat northern plains before the Baltic Sea crossing. Seasonal snow in winter makes the German forests particularly striking.
Book Hotels in Gothenborg
Lyon Metropolitan Area
Aerial view of the city's historic center and the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers shortly after takeoff.
Burgundy Wine Region
Neat geometric patterns of world-renowned vineyards stretching across the French countryside near Dijon.
North Sea Horizon
Distant views of the Dutch and German coastlines reflecting the sky on clear days.
West Coast Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the thousands of rocky islands and islets that characterize the approach to Gothenburg.
Opt for the left side during evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the North Sea. This side is particularly rewarding during the final descent, as it often provides a better angle of the Swedish archipelago and the rugged coastal landscape. Ensure you are seated by the window as the plane enters the Kattegat sea area for the best maritime views.
