Which side of the plane to sit from Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior viewing experience, starting with the dramatic Norwegian fjords near Stavanger and continuing with the scenic Swedish West Coast and the Vistula River valley in Poland.
Lysefjord & Preikestolen
Dramatic views of the steep cliffs and deep blue waters of the Norwegian fjords shortly after takeoff.
Skagerrak Coastline
The rugged transition where the rocky Norwegian coast meets the North Sea.
Gothenburg Archipelago
A stunning collection of thousands of small islands off the west coast of Sweden.
Scania Farmlands
The patchwork of agricultural fields in southern Sweden as the flight heads toward the Baltic.
Gdańsk Bay
Possible distant views of the Polish Tricity area and the busy maritime traffic in the Baltic Sea.
Vistula River
The winding path of Poland's longest river as the aircraft begins its final descent into Warsaw.
The left side is optimal for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare. The departure from SVG often involves a turn that showcases the Lysefjord; keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of flight. This side also offers a better perspective of the Swedish coastline during the cruise phase.
North Sea Horizon
Expansive views of the open sea and offshore wind farms during the initial climb.
Northern Jutland
The northern tip of Denmark visible across the Skagerrak strait on clear days.
Øresund Bridge
The massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen and Malmö.
Copenhagen Metro
Aerial perspective of the Danish capital's urban sprawl and the Saltholm island.
Bornholm Island
A clear view of the rocky Danish island sitting isolated in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Pomeranian Forests
Dense, dark green woodland areas of northwestern Poland during the entry into Polish airspace.
Choose the right side if you want to see the iconic Øresund Bridge. For evening flights, the right side captures the sunset over the Baltic Sea, creating a beautiful golden hour effect over the clouds. During the landing at Chopin Airport, if the wind is from the south, the right side often gets a spectacular view of the Warsaw city center skyscrapers.
