PFO โ NYO
Which side of the plane to sit from Paphos International Airport (Paphos) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the rugged Akamas Peninsula at takeoff, the scattered islands of the Aegean Sea, and a breathtaking profile of the High Tatra Mountains during the traverse over Central Europe.
Akamas Peninsula
The westernmost tip of Cyprus with its turquoise lagoons and rocky cliffs visible immediately after departure from PFO.
Aegean Archipelago
Panoramic views of the Greek Dodecanese islands including Rhodes and Kos as the plane heads north toward the mainland.
High Tatra Mountains
Dramatic, snow-capped alpine peaks forming the natural border between Slovakia and Poland.
Krakow
The historic Vistula river and the sprawling urban landscape of one of Poland's oldest cities.
Swedish Coastline
The transition from the Baltic Sea to the craggy inlets of Sรถdermanland during the final descent.
Choose a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses for the Aegean segment. Watch for the High Tatras approximately 3.5 hours after takeoff.
Troodos Mountains
The green, forested central spine of Cyprus is visible shortly after the aircraft reaches cruising altitude.
Southern Carpathians
Expansive views of the Transylvanian Alps as the flight path crosses Romania.
Warsaw
Aerial view of the Polish capital's skyscrapers and the winding Vistula River.
Gulf of Gdansk
The distinct shape of the Hel Peninsula and the Baltic ports of Gdynia and Gdansk.
Stockholm Archipelago
Thousands of small, forested islands dotting the Baltic Sea as you approach Skavsta Airport.
The right side is generally cooler and less bright on afternoon flights. It offers the best perspective of the Swedish archipelago's density during the base leg of the landing pattern at Skavsta. Keep an eye out for the Romanian mountains about midway through the flight.
