Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Stockholm metropolitan area during departure and a better angle of the southern shores of Sweden's great lakes.
Stockholm Cityscape
Aerial perspective of Gamla Stan and the capital's unique island geography shortly after takeoff.
Lake Mälaren
The intricate network of islands and forested peninsulas along the southern shore of Sweden's third-largest lake.
Lake Hjälmaren
A clear view of the shallow, island-rich waters as the flight crosses towards the center of the country.
Southern Lake Vättern
Expansive views of the deep blue waters near Jönköping as the aircraft begins its approach phase.
Book a seat on the left for the best chance to see the Stockholm archipelago if the flight path tracks slightly south. Morning flights offer excellent front-lit views of the landscape, while winter flights during midday capture the low Nordic sun reflecting off the frozen lakes.
Uppsala Cathedral
The twin spires of the historic cathedral are often visible to the north if departing from Arlanda's northern runways.
Västerås Waterfront
Industrial and residential views of the northern Mälaren coast, featuring the distinctive skyline of Västerås.
Mount Omberg
The prominent forested ridge on the eastern shore of Lake Vättern, standing out against the surrounding plains.
Västergötland Forests
Vast stretches of dense coniferous forest characteristic of the Swedish interior during the descent into Landvetter.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the horizon as you head west. It offers a broader view of the vast Swedish inland forests and agricultural plains of Västergötland. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'table mountains' like Kinnekulle in the distance on clear days.
