Södermanland Archipelago
The intricate network of thousands of small islands near the departure at Skavsta.
Gotland Coastline
Distant views of Sweden's largest island, often featuring the historic limestone cliffs.
Central Baltic Sea
Vast stretches of deep blue water often dotted with international shipping vessels.
Hel Peninsula
The remarkably thin, 35km-long sand spit that separates the Bay of Puck from the open sea.
Gdynia Port
Massive industrial shipping docks and maritime infrastructure visible upon the final approach.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic entry into Poland. Approximately 15 minutes before landing, look for the Hel Peninsula—it looks like a fragile needle stretching into the Baltic. For morning flights, the lighting on the Swedish coast is excellent, but for late afternoon flights, you will enjoy a beautiful soft glow on the Polish shoreline.

Swedish Heartland
A patchwork of Swedish forests and rural farmland immediately after takeoff from NYO.
Öland Island
The long, narrow island known for its windmills and the bridge connecting it to Kalmar.
Offshore Wind Farms
Vast arrays of white turbines standing in the Baltic waters near the Swedish coast.
Puck Bay
The shallow, turquoise-tinted waters of the inner bay near the Polish coastline.
Tricity Urban Area
Panoramic views of Sopot and the northern districts of Gdansk during the descent.
The right side is ideal for spotting the island of Öland shortly after reaching cruising altitude. If you are flying during sunset, this side provides spectacular views of the sun dipping below the horizon over the water. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct white dots of offshore wind farms which are more frequently visible on this flight path.
