AGHBMA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer classic Swedish landscapes, the Right Side is preferred for the spectacular approach into Stockholm-Bromma, often providing a closer view of the city center and the southern archipelago.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌾

Scanian Plains

The fertile, flat agricultural heartland of southern Sweden shortly after departure from Ängelholm.

🪵

Småland Highlands

A mosaic of thousands of small lakes and traditional red wooden cottages dotting the landscape.

🏰

Linköping & Lake Roxen

Pass near the historic aviation city, spotting the tall spire of Linköping Cathedral.

🏙️

Stockholm City Center

On the standard approach to BMA, enjoy views of Gamla Stan, the City Hall, and the Royal Palace.

🛥️

Södermalm & Archipelago

Witness the dense urban beauty of Stockholm's islands as the plane descends into the heart of the capital.

Sit on the right for the iconic 'Stockholm approach.' For the best city views, choose an evening flight when the city lights begin to shimmer on the surrounding water. If the plane lands from the east, you will see the sprawling suburbs and the inner archipelago.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Kattegat Coastline

Immediately after takeoff, catch glimpses of the Skälderviken bay and the North Sea horizon.

🏔️

Hallandsåsen Ridge

View the prominent geological ridge that separates the provinces of Skåne and Halland.

💧

Lake Vättern

Mid-flight offers views of Sweden's second-largest lake, known for its deep, crystal-clear water.

🌲

Kolmården Forests

Dense, undulating evergreen forests stretch across the border of Östergötland and Södermanland.

🛶

Lake Mälaren

On the final approach, the intricate network of islands and bays of Sweden's third-largest lake unfolds.

The left side is excellent for morning flights as the sun is positioned on the opposite side, reducing glare. Keep your eyes peeled for Visingsö island in the middle of Lake Vättern, which looks like a long green sliver from above.
