Search flights from NYO to KTW
Nyköping Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff from Skavsta, view the intricate network of rocky islands and inlets along the Swedish coast.
Hel Peninsula
A striking 35km-long sandbar curving into the Baltic Sea, clearly visible as the flight enters Polish airspace.
Gdańsk & Gdynia
The sprawling port infrastructure, historic shipyards, and coastal urban layout of the Polish Tricity region.
Vistula River Meanders
The winding path of Poland's longest river as it flows through the northern plains toward the Baltic.
Tatra Mountains
On exceptionally clear days during descent, the jagged peaks of the High Tatras are visible on the southern horizon.
Sit on the left (seats A) for the best views of the Polish coastline. Morning flights provide excellent front-lit views of the Hel Peninsula. During the final approach to KTW, the left side often catches glimpses of the distant Beskid mountains if the flight path approaches from the north.

Södermanland Forests
Dense Swedish woodlands and glacial lakes surrounding the Skavsta area during the initial climb.
Open Baltic Sea
A vast, uninterrupted maritime horizon during the mid-flight crossing between Sweden and Poland.
Polish Agricultural Mosaic
The distinctive narrow, multi-colored strip-fields characteristic of central Polish rural landscapes.
Silesian Industrial Basin
The dense collection of factories, cooling towers, and urban centers that define the Katowice metropolitan area.
The right side (seats F) is preferable for sunset flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while flying south. It offers a broader view of the vast Polish interior plains. Watch for the large industrial complexes and coal mines as you get closer to the Upper Silesian region.
