Thessaloniki Cityscape
Immediate views of the White Tower, the port, and the urban sprawl of Greece's second-largest city.
Belgrade Confluence
Spot the historic Kalemegdan Fortress where the Sava and Danube rivers meet in the Serbian capital.
Carpathian Mountains
The sweeping arc of the Romanian and Ukrainian mountains can often be seen in the distance to the east.
Warsaw Skyline
A great perspective of Poland's capital, featuring the Palace of Culture and Science and modern skyscrapers.
Gdańsk Bay
Aerial views of the Polish 'Tri-city' area and the busy shipping lanes of the Baltic coast.
Stockholm Archipelago
Breathtaking views of thousands of tiny islands and rocky outcrops as you descend toward Skavsta.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the soft light on the Balkan terrain. The highlight is the approach into Sweden; even though Skavsta is south of Stockholm, you often pass over the beautiful Södermanland coast. Keep your camera ready during takeoff from SKG for the best shots of the Thermaic Gulf.

Mount Olympus
Shortly after takeoff, look west to see Greece's highest mountain and the legendary home of the gods.
Buda Hills
A westward view of the historic Buda side of the Hungarian capital and the winding Danube River.
High Tatras
The jagged peaks forming the natural border between Slovakia and Poland are visible on clear days.
Prague Skyline
Potential views of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the Vltava River as you cross Central Europe.
Baltic Sea Crossing
Deep blue waters and whitecaps as the plane leaves the mainland for the final leg to Sweden.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side offers better views of the inland European mountain ranges and central urban landscapes like Berlin if the flight path tracks slightly west. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from Mediterranean greenery to the dense forests of the north.
