The flight path crosses the Baltic Sea heading south-southwest. At cruise altitude (around 25,000 feet), you'll see open water for most of the route with no major landmarks visible. The Swedish east coast (Uppland region) recedes to the left (west) shortly after takeoff. The Danish coast near Helsingør and the Øresund region becomes visible on the right (east) as you descend toward Copenhagen. The route is relatively featureless over open water—the archipelago departure and strait arrival are the primary visual highlights.
