Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Left Side Highlights

🇸🇪

Stockholm Archipelago

Vast network of thousands of forested islands south of the capital visible shortly after takeoff.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

The massive engineering marvel connecting Sweden and Denmark is clearly visible during the first hour.

🏙️

Copenhagen Harbor

Aerial perspective of the Danish capital's modern architecture and historic canals.

🎡

Snowdonia National Park

The dramatic, craggy peaks and glacial valleys of North Wales as the flight crosses the UK.

🌊

The Irish Sea

A crossing filled with ferry traffic and potential views of the Isle of Man to the north.

☘️

Dublin Bay

A sweeping view of the southern Dublin coastline, including Dún Laoghaire and the Wicklow Mountains.

Choose a window seat mid-cabin or forward to avoid wing obstruction of the Øresund Bridge. On late afternoon flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the Irish Sea as you descend into Dublin.

Right Side Highlights

Lake Mälaren

Sweden's third-largest lake with its intricate shoreline and historic estates visible on departure.

🇩🇰

Jutland Peninsula

The right side is perfect for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers a better look at the English Lake District if the flight path tracks slightly further north than usual. Keep an eye out for wind turbines in the North Sea.
