Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more scenic perspective of the Polish Baltic coast, including the famous Hel Peninsula, and a closer look at the Swedish coastline before the descent into the Oslofjord region.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Toruń Medieval Center

Views of the UNESCO-listed Gothic architecture and red-brick rooftops of this historic city on the Vistula.

🏖️

Hel Peninsula

A stunning 35km-long sandbar stretching into the Baltic Sea, one of the most unique geographic features in Europe.

⛴️

Gdańsk Bay

The busy shipping lanes and port infrastructure of the Tricity area (Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot).

🇩🇰

Bornholm Island

In clear weather, this Danish island appears as a green jewel in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

🇸🇪

Swedish West Coastline

The rugged, rocky 'Skärgård' (archipelago) of Sweden's western edge provides a dramatic landscape before entering Norway.

🌲

Østfold Forests

Dense Norwegian evergreen forests and coastal inlets surrounding the Moss/Rygge airport area during landing.

This is the premier side for coastal scenery. Watch closely about 35-45 minutes into the flight for the Hel Peninsula. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Baltic coastline and the Swedish islands with crystal clarity.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Central Polish Urban Hubs

Bird's-eye views of Łódź or the outskirts of Wrocław depending on the exact airway used.

💧

Vistula River Meanders

The winding path of Poland's longest river as the plane heads toward the northern plains.

🌊

The Kattegat

Expansive views of the sea between Denmark and Sweden as you transition into Scandinavian airspace.

⚓

Port of Gothenburg

As the flight nears Norway, the major Swedish industrial port city is often visible to the west.

🏝️

Outer Oslofjord Islands

A scatter of small islands and rocky outcrops as the aircraft begins its final descent into Rygge.

Choose a window seat behind the wing to capture the expansive sea views without engine obstruction. Late afternoon flights on this side offer softer lighting for photography, though you may face some direct sun glare mid-flight.
