Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most diverse scenery, including views of the Swedish islands in the Baltic and the spectacular approach into Norway over the islands of the Oslofjord.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌲

Lithuanian Lakelands

Dense forests and shimmering glacial lakes of the Aukštaitija region during the initial climb.

🏝️

Gotland Island

The large, distinctive shape of Sweden's biggest island visible in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

💧

Lake Vättern

The deep blue, finger-shaped lake in southern Sweden, one of Europe's largest freshwater bodies.

⛵

Oslofjord Entrance

The dramatic transition from the open sea to the fjord system, dotted with thousands of small islands.

🏡

Vestfold Archipelago

Classic Norwegian coastal scenery featuring rocky 'skjærgård' islets and red summer cabins during the final approach.

The right side is the clear winner for the descent. As the plane turns north toward Sandefjord, you get a panoramic view of the Oslofjord. For morning flights, the lighting on the Swedish landscape and the Norwegian coast is usually crisp and excellent for photography.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏰

Vilnius Old Town

Bird's-eye view of the historic red-roofed center and the winding Neris River immediately after takeoff.

🏰

Trakai Island Castle

Look west shortly after departure to spot the iconic medieval fortress surrounded by Lake Galvė.

🏖️

Curonian Spit

On clear days, the long, narrow sand dune spit separating the lagoon from the Baltic Sea is visible to the south.

🌊

Swedish West Coast

The sandy beaches and rocky outcrops of the Halland region as the plane crosses into the Kattegat.

🚢

Sandefjord Harbor

Views of the historic whaling town and ferry terminal just before touchdown at TRF.

Choose the left side for better city views during the initial climb from Vilnius. This side is also preferable for evening flights to avoid direct sunlight, though you may catch a beautiful sunset over the North Sea during the final descent in winter months.
