Jurmala Coastline
Striking views of the long, white sandy beaches of the Latvian resort town and the Gulf of Riga.
Estonian Islands
On clear days, the southern coastline of Saaremaa, Estonia's largest island, is visible to the north.
Stockholm Archipelago
The flight's crown jewel: thousands of islands and skerries scattered across the sea near the Swedish capital.
Lake Malaren
An intricate network of waterways and historical sites stretching west from Stockholm into the Swedish heartland.
Norwegian Taiga
Rugged, forested hills and deep valleys typical of the landscape surrounding Oslo Gardermoen airport.
The right side is essential for seeing the Stockholm Archipelago, usually visible 40-50 minutes after takeoff. In the late afternoon and evening, this side experiences beautiful sunset colors reflecting off the countless Swedish lakes and the Baltic Sea. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the island clusters.

A serene vista of the southern Baltic Sea as the flight heads toward the Swedish coastline.
