ARN โ BLQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides are scenic, the right side offers a superior view of the Swedish interior lakes, a more direct look at the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites, and the stunning blue expanse of Lake Garda during the descent.
Lake Vรคttern
View the deep blue waters of Sweden's second-largest lake as you cruise over the southern provinces.
Bavarian Countryside
The picturesque rolling hills, dense forests, and organized farmland of Southern Germany.
The Dolomites
Spectacular jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, often glowing pink or orange in the late afternoon.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is usually clearly visible as the flight begins its final descent into the Po Valley.
San Luca Sanctuary
The hilltop basilica overlooking Bologna is often visible during the final banking maneuvers for landing.
The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is the definitive choice for mountain lovers, as it provides the most direct views of the Alpine peaks and Lake Garda. As you approach Bologna, the right side often looks down upon the red-roofed city and the rolling Apennine foothills.
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking view of thousands of forested islands and rocky outcrops as you depart Arlanda.
The Baltic Coastline
Follows the Swedish 'Glass Kingdom' region and the long island of รland to the east.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
On clear days, the vast urban sprawl of the German capital is visible as the flight heads south.
High Tauern National Park
Stunning vistas of the Austrian Alps, including glaciated peaks near the Grossglockner.
Venetian Lagoon
Distant views of the Adriatic coast and the distinctive shape of Venice before the final turn.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. It provides a better angle for seeing the Stockholm archipelago immediately after takeoff if departing to the south. During the descent, keep an eye out for the Adriatic coastline which appears as a thin blue strip on the horizon.
