Which side of the plane to sit from Malta International Airport (Malta) to Gothenburg City Airport (Gothenborg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the active crater of Mount Etna, the iconic Italian coastline near Rome, and a spectacular traverse over the heart of the Alps and the Oresund region.
Search flights from MLA to GSE
Mount Etna
Europe's most active volcano, often venting steam, visible as you fly north over eastern Sicily.
Eternal City Scrawl
A distant but distinct view of Rome and the Tiber River as the flight path parallels the Italian coast.
Central Alps & Dolomites
Dramatic limestone formations and vertical walls of the Italian and Austrian alpine regions.
Oresund Bridge
The massive engineering marvel connecting Copenhagen and Malmo across the blue straits.
Gothenburg City Center
A bird's-eye view of the Liseberg tower, the harbor, and the red 'Lipstick' building before landing at GSE.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Etna early in the flight. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff. During winter months, the low sun can make the Alps appear particularly dramatic with long shadows. If the plane circles before landing at GSE, you will get a perfect view of the city's harbor district.

Mediterranean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep azure Mediterranean Sea shortly after departing Malta.
Western Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps, including glimpses of the Mont Blanc massif.
North German Plain
The intricate geometric patterns of fertile agricultural lands and wind farms across Lower Saxony.
Jutland Peninsula
The rugged western coastline of Denmark where the North Sea meets the sandy dunes.
Gothenburg Archipelago
Thousands of granite islands and rocky outcrops dotting the Swedish west coast during final descent.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is particularly scenic during the final 15 minutes of the flight as you approach Gothenburg from the south, offering a clear view of the northern archipelago and the North Sea.
