Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more iconic sequence of landmarks, including the urban layouts of major European capitals and the scenic islands of the Baltic Sea during the descent into Sweden.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Budapest & Danube

A spectacular aerial view of the Hungarian capital's bridges and the winding path of the Danube River.

⛰️

Eastern Tatras

The highest part of the Carpathian Mountains, offering dramatic vertical relief and deep glacial valleys.

🏢

Warsaw Skyline

The concentrated cluster of skyscrapers and the historic Old Town of the Polish capital are frequently visible.

🏝️

Baltic Sea Islands

Exceptional views of the long, narrow island of Öland and the larger Gotland as you cross the Baltic.

🌊

Nyköping Archipelago

A beautiful mosaic of rocky islets and coastal inlets as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Skavsta Airport.

The right side is superior for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Balkans. Pay close attention about 90 minutes into the flight for the distinctive silhouette of the Baltic islands. On the approach to NYO, the plane often performs a bank that provides a panoramic view of the Swedish coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Distant views of the rugged, jagged peaks stretching across the western Balkan peninsula shortly after takeoff.

💧

Lake Balaton

Spot the elongated shape and turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake in western Hungary.

🏔️

Western Tatras

The sharp, snow-dusted granite peaks of the mountain range forming the natural border between Slovakia and Poland.

🌲

Swedish Woodlands

A dense tapestry of deep green forests and small blue lakes characteristic of the Södermanland region during arrival.

Choose the left side for afternoon departures to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly scenic during the winter months when the High Tatras are covered in deep snow. Look out for the Vistula River as it winds through the Polish lowlands mid-flight.
