TRDGDN

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Swedish lakes and the iconic approach over the Bay of Gdańsk towards the Tri-city area.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Trondheimsfjord

Immediate views of the deep blue fjord and the rolling hills surrounding Trondheim after takeoff.

🏔️

Scandinavian Mountains

The rugged border peaks between Norway and Sweden, often snow-capped well into the spring.

💧

Lake Vättern

A massive perspective of Sweden's second-largest lake, showcasing its crystal-clear water.

🏖️

Öland Island

The distinct, long silhouette of the island of Öland along the Swedish Baltic coast.

🏙️

Gdańsk Bay

Panoramic views of the Sopot pier and the industrial shipyards during the final descent.

For morning flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight, making it easier to take photos. The approach into GDN on this side is particularly rewarding as you can often see the entire coastline of the Tri-city area. Look out for the massive Malbork Castle in the distance if the flight path circles south of the city.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Dovrefjell Range

Distant views of the wild mountain plateaus of central Norway shortly after departure.

🌲

Värmland Forests

Dense, endless stretches of Swedish boreal forest dotted with thousands of tiny mirror-like lakes.

🌊

Lake Vänern

The eastern horizon of Northern Europe's largest lake, appearing like an inland sea.

🚢

Baltic Sea Lanes

Active shipping lanes where you can spot large ferries and cargo ships traversing between Scandinavia and Poland.

🏖️

Hel Peninsula

A striking view of the 35km-long narrow sandbar that separates the Bay of Puck from the open Baltic Sea.

Choose the right side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Baltic Sea. The Hel Peninsula is most visible from this side during the initial approach phase. During winter months, this side offers a better chance of seeing the 'blue hour' light over the Swedish wilderness.
