Öland Island
The long, narrow Swedish island and its famous lighthouse are often visible shortly after departure from Skavsta.
Hel Peninsula
A spectacular 35km-long sandbar that curls into the Baltic Sea, creating the Puck Bay.
The Tricity Area
Distant but clear views of the major port cities of Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot along the coastline.
Modlin Fortress
One of the world's longest buildings and a massive 19th-century military complex located right next to the airport.
Kampinos National Park
The dense forests of this UNESCO biosphere reserve are visible just south of the Vistula river during landing.
The right side is highly recommended for the approach into WMI. You will likely pass the Hel Peninsula—a unique geographic feature—about 40 minutes into the flight. On final approach, look down to see the massive Modlin Fortress. For the best lighting on these landmarks, choose an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west, illuminating the coastline.

Baltic Sea Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Baltic Sea as the flight crosses from Scandinavia to Central Europe.
Masovian Lowlands
A vast tapestry of colorful Polish agricultural fields that dominate the landscape on the descent into Warsaw.
Vistula River Delta
Views of the eastern edge of the Vistula delta as the plane enters Polish airspace near Elbląg.
NYO Departure
Aerial views of the Nyköping region and the industrial outskirts of Stockholm upon takeoff.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides a great perspective of the Vistula River's eastern banks as you enter the Masovian region. Keep an eye out for the distinctive patchwork of narrow, long Polish farm plots which are best seen from this side during the midday sun.
