Search flights from WAW to GSE
Hel Peninsula
A striking view of the 35km long, narrow sand spit separating the Bay of Puck from the open Baltic Sea.
Bornholm Island
The rocky Danish island appearing as a green jewel in the middle of the Baltic Sea transit.
Skåne Farmlands
The colorful patchwork of southern Sweden's most fertile agricultural region as you cross the coast.
Gothenburg Archipelago
Breathtaking views of hundreds of smooth granite islands and fishing villages during the final approach into GSE.
The right side is the clear winner for the arrival phase. As the plane descends into the Gothenburg area, the archipelago is best viewed from this side. For evening flights, you will enjoy the golden hour light reflecting off the Baltic Sea and the Swedish granite rocks. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the most scenic island views.
Book Hotels in Gothenborg
Warsaw City Center
Aerial view of the Palace of Culture and Science and Warsaw's growing skyscraper cluster shortly after takeoff.
Vistula River Meanders
The winding path of Poland's longest river as it snakes northwest toward the Baltic Sea.
Øresund Link
Distant views of the bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen, Denmark, with Malmö, Sweden.
Zealand Coastline
The eastern shores of the largest Danish island, featuring white cliffs and coastal forests.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for catching glimpses of the Danish capital, Copenhagen, in the distance if the flight path stays more to the west. Watch for the 'Turning Torso' skyscraper in Malmö just before entering the Kattegat sea area.
