Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Gothenborg. While takeoff offers North Sea views, the landing approach into Gothenburg provides more dramatic and varied scenery: the river estuary, coastal islands, and the city itself. The approach is visually richer overall.

During takeoff from Stansted (STN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Essex coastline and the Thames Estuary as the aircraft climbs northeastward. You'll see the distinctive water patterns of the estuary and the North Sea coast receding below. Notable sights include: Thames Estuary, Essex coastline, North Sea, East Anglia fenlands.

When landing at Landvetter (GOT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during descent into Gothenburg. You'll see the Göta Älv river valley, the Stockholm archipelago-like coastal islands, and the city of Gothenburg itself nestled between water bodies as you approach from the southwest. Notable sights include: Göta Älv river, Swedish west coast islands, Gothenburg city, Lake Vänern (distant).

The flight from Stansted (STN) to Landvetter (GOT) takes 2h 15m.

The flight crosses the North Sea at altitude, passing over open water with no major landmarks visible. The route then approaches the Swedish coast near the Bohuslän region, where the transition from sea to the rocky, island-dotted Swedish west coast becomes visible during descent. The Göta Älv river valley and surrounding forested terrain dominate the final 30 minutes of flight.
