NYO β SKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm) to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic High Tatra mountains and the iconic Mount Olympus during the descent into Greece, along with potentially stunning views of Budapest.
Swedish Lake District
Expansive views of the dense forests and glittering lakes of southern Sweden during initial climb.
Western High Tatras
Impressive alpine scenery as the plane transits the airspace over Slovakia and Northern Hungary.
Budapest & The Danube
Look for the Parliament building and the distinct curve of the Danube River cutting through the Hungarian capital.
Balkan Highlands
The rugged, mountainous terrain of Serbia and North Macedonia featuring deep valleys and remote villages.
Mount Olympus
The mythical home of the Greek Gods. This massive peak is clearly visible to the west shortly before landing.
Thermaic Gulf
Beautiful views of the turquoise waters and cargo ships entering the port of Thessaloniki.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark hunting. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture Mount Olympus. For late afternoon flights, be aware that this side will face the setting sun, which can be bright but offers spectacular golden hour lighting over the Balkans.
Swedish Archipelago
Bird's eye view of the countless small islands and rugged coastline immediately after departing Skavsta.
Gotland and Γland
Distant views of Sweden's largest islands in the Baltic Sea if the flight path tracks slightly east.
Vistula River
The winding path of Poland's longest river as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Eastern High Tatras
The jagged, snow-capped peaks defining the border between Poland and Slovakia.
Thessaloniki Cityscape
A brilliant view of the White Tower and the city center as the plane banks for its final approach into SKG.
Sit on the left if you want the best view of Thessaloniki's urban sprawl and the White Tower during the final landing phase. This side is also better for early morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare coming from the east.
