Warsaw Skyline
Panoramic views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern skyscrapers of the central business district shortly after takeoff.
Hel Peninsula
A distinct, 35km long narrow sandbar curling into the Baltic Sea near Gdansk.
Bornholm Island
Clear views of this rocky Danish outpost in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Swedish West Coast
The rugged coastline of the Kattegat sea area, featuring the archipelago near Gothenburg.
Oslofjord
A dramatic descent over the narrow fjord, dotted with small islands, colorful summer houses, and dense forests.
For the best experience, book a window seat on the left (usually 'A' seats). On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography. The approach into OSL is particularly scenic from this side as the plane banks over the fjord; look for the Holmenkollen ski jump on the horizon during clear days.

Vistula River
The winding path of Poland's longest river as it heads north toward the sea.
Lake Vättern
Views of Sweden's second-largest lake, known for its deep, clear water.
Swedish Boreal Forest
A vast green carpet of timberland stretching across the Värmland region.
Glomma River
The final approach follows the path of Norway's longest river as it meanders through the eastern valleys.
The right side (usually 'F' seats) is excellent for observing the vast inland geography of Sweden. During winter flights, the low sun from the south can create high contrast and harsh glare on this side. Keep an eye out for the large hydroelectric dams and industrial clusters in the Norwegian-Swedish border region.
