Oslofjord
Immediate views of the intricate Norwegian coastline and forested islands upon departure from Rygge.
Bohuslän Archipelago
Aerial perspective of the rocky Swedish islands as the flight path tracks south along the coast.
Hel Peninsula
A remarkably thin, 35km-long sand spit that is one of the most distinctive geographic features in Poland.
Tricity Ports
Bird's-eye view of the massive industrial shipyards and container terminals of Gdynia and Gdańsk.
Gdańsk Center
On many approach paths, the red-roofed historic Old Town and the Motława River are visible just before landing.
Sit on the left to avoid harsh sunlight on morning flights. The Hel Peninsula is the highlight of this route; it usually appears on the left about 10-15 minutes before touchdown. During winter, look for ice formations along the coastal edges of the Baltic Sea.

Uninterrupted views of the horizon, perfect for watching the sun reflect off the sea surface.

Watch for large ferries and cargo vessels navigating the busy shipping lanes between Scandinavia and Central Europe.
Kashubian Lake District
As the plane descends, view the dense forests and hidden lakes of the Pomeranian region west of the airport.
Puck Bay Shallows
The turquoise hues of the shallower waters near the Polish coast contrasting with the deep blue of the open sea.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Baltic Sea. If the aircraft approaches GDN from the west (Runway 11), you will get a great view of the rural Kashubian landscapes. Keep an eye out for wind farms located in the sea.
