Scania Countryside
Rich agricultural patterns and golden fields of southern Sweden immediately after departure from Sturup.
Ystad Coastline
The beautiful sandy beaches and historic harbor of Ystad as the aircraft leaves the Swedish mainland.
Bornholm Island
The prominent Danish island in the Baltic Sea, known for its round churches and rocky cliffs, visible halfway through the flight.
Hel Peninsula
A striking 35km long narrow sandbar stretching into the Baltic Sea, visible as the plane enters the Bay of Gdańsk.
Gdynia & Sopot
The northern cities of the Tricity area, including the famous wooden pier in Sopot, during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Bornholm around 15 minutes after takeoff. This side also avoids direct glare from the sun during morning flights. On approach to GDN, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct shape of the Hel Peninsula, which is a highlight of Baltic aviation.

Vast expanses of deep blue water with frequent sightings of cargo ships and ferries traversing the busy shipping lanes.
Port of Gdańsk
One of the largest deep-water ports on the Baltic Sea, featuring massive cranes and container terminals on final approach.
Westerplatte
The historic site where WWII began, marked by a massive monument and harbor fortifications at the mouth of the Vistula.
Old Town Gdańsk
Depending on the landing direction, glimpses of the reconstruction of the Hanseatic-style architecture and the massive St. Mary's Church.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the sea. During descent, look for the industrial maritime infrastructure and the historic Westerplatte. If landing from the west, this side provides the best view of the historic city center just moments before touchdown.
