Visby & Gotland
Views of the medieval walled city of Visby on the island of Gotland, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Lake Vättern
A clear view of Sweden's second-largest lake, known for its deep, crystal-clear water and elongated shape.
Lake Vänern
Europe's third-largest lake, which appears like an inland sea with numerous archipelagos and rocky shores.
Oslofjord Approach
Dramatic views of the Norwegian coastline, islands, and the city of Moss as the plane descends into Rygge.
This is the prime side for lake-spotting. For morning flights, the lighting over the Swedish interior is excellent. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the transition from the Swedish forests to the rugged Norwegian fjords.

Kurzeme Coastline
The sandy shores of western Latvia as the aircraft climbs away from Riga and crosses into the Baltic Sea.

Choose this side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Baltic Sea. Keep an eye out for the southern tip of Gotland early in the cruise phase. It is generally the 'sunnier' side for north-westbound flights in the afternoon.
