STN β GSE
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Gothenburg City Airport (Gothenborg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the English coastline upon departure and a stunning panorama of the Gothenburg archipelago and city center during the final approach.
Port of Felixstowe
Incredible views of the UK's largest container port, with its giant red cranes and stacks of colorful shipping containers.
Jutland Coastline
The sandy western shores of Denmark are often visible as the plane begins its transition from the North Sea toward Sweden.
Gothenburg Archipelago
A spectacular collection of thousands of granite islands and islets that characterize the Swedish West Coast.
Gothenburg City Center
Vibrant views of the harbor, the GΓΆta Γ€lv river, and the city's red-roofed buildings during the final descent.
The right side is the definitive choice for landmarks. Choose this side for morning flights if you want to see the coastline in bright light, though be aware of sun glare. During the descent into Gothenburg, watch for the distinct white and blue ferries weaving through the islands of the southern archipelago.
East Anglian Countryside
Rolling green fields and rural landscapes of Essex and Suffolk immediately after takeoff from Stansted.
Open North Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water, often dotted with massive cargo vessels and tankers heading toward the English Channel.
Distant Norwegian Coast
On exceptionally clear days, the rugged silhouettes of Southern Norway's mountains may be visible on the far northern horizon.
Best for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun which will be on the south side of the aircraft. This side provides a more peaceful, meditative view of the horizon during the long North Sea crossing. Look for the white 'grid' patterns of offshore wind farms early in the flight.
