ARN → AAL
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Aalborg Airport (Aalborg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of Sweden's massive internal lakes and the beautiful, rugged West Coast archipelago before crossing the Kattegat.
Lake Vänern
The massive expanse of the largest lake in the European Union, appearing more like an ocean on the horizon.
Bohuslän Coast
The dramatic rocky archipelago of Sweden's west coast, featuring thousands of small granite islands.
North Jutland Coast
The white sandy beaches of the Danish 'Cold Hawaii' region and the shifting dunes near Skagen.
Limfjorden
The unique waterway that separates North Jutlandic Island from the rest of the Jutland peninsula.
The right side is spectacular during sunset flights as the sun dips into the North Sea. Keep a close eye out for the Swedish West Coast; the transition from forest to rocky islands is a highlight of the route. Look for the distinct wind farms in the Kattegat.
Stockholm Suburbs
After takeoff, views of the southern metropolitan area and the intricate waterways of Lake Mälaren.
Lake Vättern
A glimpse of Sweden's second-largest lake, known for its remarkably clear water and long, narrow shape.
Kattegat Crossing
The transition from the Swedish mainland to the open sea, often dotted with commercial shipping vessels.
Aalborg Port
As you descend, view the industrial charm and shipping docks along the eastern Limfjord.
Sit on the left if you prefer the sun behind you during morning flights. It provides a clearer view of the deep blue Vättern. Watch for the Danish coastline appearing as a thin green line after the sea crossing.
