MAN → GOT
Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the English eastern coastline, the expansive Jutland peninsula in Denmark, and the picturesque southern archipelago of Gothenburg during the final descent.
Humber Estuary
The massive Humber Bridge and the industrial ports of Hull and Grimsby visible as you cross the English coast.
Lincolnshire Fens
The geometric patterns of the East Anglian and Lincolnshire farmlands before heading out over the North Sea.
Danish West Coast
The long, sandy beaches and dunes of Jutland, stretching from Esbjerg up toward the Limfjord area.
Gothenburg Southern Archipelago
A stunning view of thousands of granite islands and small fishing villages like Brännö and Styrsö.
Swedish Boreal Forest
Dense, deep green coniferous forests that dominate the landscape as the plane lines up for the Landvetter runway.
This side is best for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the Danish coast and the Swedish islands perfectly. Watch for the Vinga lighthouse, Sweden's most famous beacon, as you approach the coastline. Seat selection behind the wing provides the best panoramic views of the archipelago.
Peak District National Park
Aerial views of the dark peak moors and rugged gritstone edges immediately after departure from Manchester.
Yorkshire Urban Belt
The dense urban landscapes of Sheffield and Leeds visible as the plane climbs toward cruising altitude.
Dogger Bank
The shallow areas of the North Sea often featuring large clusters of offshore wind turbines and cargo ships.
Skagen & North Jutland
The northern tip of Denmark where the North Sea and Baltic Sea meet, often visible on a clear northerly track.
Gothenburg City Center
Clear views of the Liseberg tower and the city's grid layout when approaching Landvetter from the west.
Sit toward the front of the wing for the best views of the Peak District. If the flight takes a northerly path, look for the unique 'colliding seas' at Skagen near the Danish coast. In winter, the Swedish landscape is often covered in hoarfrost, making the archipelago particularly striking from the air.
