Which side of the plane to sit from Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger) to Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Norwegian fjords during departure and the distinctive Hel Peninsula on the approach to Gdansk.
Stavanger Archipelago
Dozens of small rocky islands and deep blue channels visible immediately after takeoff from Sola.
Rogaland Coastline
Dramatic views of the rugged Norwegian coast as the plane gains altitude and turns southeast.
Swedish West Coast
The intricate coastline and archipelagos near Gothenburg and the Bohuslän region.
Bornholm Island
The isolated Danish island in the Baltic Sea, often visible as a green gem surrounded by blue water.
Hel Peninsula
A stunning 35km long sand spit that separates the Bay of Puck from the Baltic Sea.
Port of Gdynia
Detailed views of the industrial shipyards and docks just before the final touchdown.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The Hel Peninsula is most visible during the descent; keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing. Late afternoon flights offer warm lighting on the Norwegian coast without the glare found on the right side.
Skagerrak Strait
A busy maritime corridor where you can spot large cargo ships and ferries crossing between Norway and Denmark.
North Jutland
The northern tip of Denmark, including the sandy beaches of Skagen where the two seas meet.
Øresund Region
Distant views of the urban sprawl near Copenhagen and the bridge connecting to Malmö.
Kashubian Lake District
The lush, forested hills and numerous glacial lakes of northern Poland during the descent.
Gdansk Cityscape
A panoramic view of the Tricity area, including the historic center of Gdansk and the Sopot pier.
The right side is excellent for seeing the transition from the North Sea to the Baltic. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so window shades may be necessary. During the final approach, this side provides a better view of the dense forests surrounding the airport.
