Tallinn and Estonian Coast

Excellent views of the medieval spires of Tallinn and the rugged, forested coastline of northern Estonia.

Gulf of Finland Traffic

Witness one of the world's busiest maritime corridors, filled with ferries and tankers moving between East and West.

πŸ’Ž

Lake Saimaa System

An incredible labyrinth of thousands of islands and blue water, showcasing Finland's largest lake system just before landing.

This is the definitive side for the descent. As the plane turns toward Lappeenranta, the view of the Saimaa lake district is world-class. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photographing the Estonian coast and the islands.

Bornholm Island

Look out for this rocky Danish island in the middle of the Baltic, recognizable by its unique round churches from high altitude.

Helsinki Skyline

On a clear day, the white silhouette of Helsinki's Cathedral and the sprawling archipelago can be seen in the distance.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for a better chance to see the Finnish capital in the distance. During winter, look for shifting sea ice patterns as you approach the Finnish coast.
