Saaremaa Island
The largest Estonian island with its distinct coastline visible across the Gulf.
Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning network of over 30,000 islands and islets as the flight crosses into Sweden.
Scandinavian Mountains
The jagged, snow-capped 'backbone' of the peninsula separating Sweden and Norway.
Sognefjord Region
Aerial views of the deep glacial valleys and fjord arms leading toward Bergen.
This is the prime side for fjord spotting. As you descend into Bergen, the right side usually provides a better view of the northern fjord systems like Sognefjord. For evening flights, this side offers beautiful sunset views over the North Sea. Ensure your window is clean to capture the intricate details of the Stockholm islands mid-flight.

Latvian Coastline
Panoramic views of the Jurmala beaches and the Gulf of Riga immediately after departure.
Gotland
A distant view of Sweden's largest island sitting in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Vänern and Vättern
Large glacial lakes in southern Sweden surrounded by dense evergreen forests.
Hardangervidda
The massive mountain plateau of Southern Norway, often covered in snow even in late spring.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking towards the sun during late morning flights. In the winter, the low sun angle can create harsh glare on this side, but it provides excellent lighting for the snowy plateaus of southern Norway. Look out about 20 minutes before landing for the Folgefonna glacier.
