Turku Archipelago
Immediate views of thousands of rocky islands and forested islets shortly after takeoff from Turku.
Hel Peninsula
A striking bird's-eye view of the 35km-long, narrow sandbar that curves into the Bay of Gdańsk.
Sopot & Gdynia
Aerial perspective of the famous Sopot Pier and the modern port infrastructure of Gdynia.
Gdańsk Shipyards
Historical industrial views of the massive cranes and shipping docks that define the city's skyline.
Bay of Gdańsk
The final descent provides a panorama of the sheltered bay waters against the backdrop of the city.
Sit on the left for the best orientation during the descent into GDN. If the plane lands from the north (standard approach), you will see the entire length of the Hel Peninsula. Early morning flights provide excellent lighting for the Finnish islands without glare.

Baltic Shipping Lanes
Frequent sightings of large cruise ferries and cargo vessels traveling between Finland and Sweden.
Baltic Horizon
Unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for catching the sunset on evening southbound flights.
Puck Bay
The shallow, turquoise-tinted waters of the inner bay, often dotted with windsurfers.
Kashubian Lake District
Glacial lakes and rolling green hills visible just before touchdown on the Pomeranian plateau.
The right side is ideal for sunset photography during winter or late evening flights. As the plane approaches the runway, look for the 'Kashubian Switzerland' landscape, characterized by small hidden lakes among dense pine forests.
