Baltic Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Baltic Sea extending toward Scandinavia.
Palanga Shoreline
The famous white-sand beaches and the long pier of Lithuania's premier seaside resort town.
Curonian Spit
A stunning 98km long, thin sand-dune spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Curonian Lagoon
The vast, shallow body of water enclosed by the spit, often filled with small fishing vessels.
KlaipΔda Port
The busy industrial port and the narrow gateway where the lagoon meets the open sea.
The right side is the definitive choice for this route. Request a window seat ahead of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Curonian Spit during the descent into KGD. Evening flights provide breathtaking sunsets over the water, though you may face some glare. In winter, look for ice formations along the edges of the Curonian Lagoon.

Kurzeme Forest Canopy
Expansive views of the dense pine and spruce forests of western Latvia shortly after departure.
Lithuanian Farmlands
A patchwork of agricultural fields near the towns of Skuodas and Kretinga as the flight enters Lithuanian airspace.
Sovetsk & Neman River
The meandering Neman River marking the border between Lithuania and the Kaliningrad Oblast.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking at inland landscapes and river patterns. It is best during early morning flights when the sun is behind you, illuminating the ground with a soft, warm light without glare.
