Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Jönköping Airport (Joenkoeping)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred as it offers panoramic views of Lake Vättern, Sweden's second-largest lake, and the scenic island of Visingsö during the descent into Jönköping.
Lake Mälaren
View the expansive lake system west of Stockholm during the initial climb and transition to cruising altitude.
Lake Vättern
Witness the deep blue waters and dramatic eastern shoreline of this massive rift lake for most of the descent.
Visingsö Island
See the historic, elongated island sitting in the middle of Lake Vättern shortly before reaching Jönköping.
Omberg Ridge
Observe the distinct forested mountain ridge rising sharply from the eastern shore of Lake Vättern near the town of Ödeshög.
The right side is significantly more scenic during the final 20 minutes of flight. In the late afternoon, the sun reflects beautifully off Lake Vättern, though it can be bright; bring sunglasses. For the best view of Visingsö, ensure you are seated behind the wing if the plane is a high-wing aircraft, or in front for typical jets.
Stockholm Archipelago
If the flight path takes a southerly departure, you can see the thousands of islands stretching into the Baltic Sea.
Linköping & Norrköping
Major regional urban centers and the industrial landscapes of Östergötland are visible from cruising altitude.
Småland Highlands
Vast expanses of dense pine and spruce forests characterize the high plateau of the Swedish interior.
Jönköping South
View the southern residential districts and the industrial hub surrounding Jönköping as you prepare for landing.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun and to catch the urban sprawl of Linköping. Keep your eyes peeled for the E4 highway, which acts as a primary navigational landmark for pilots and passengers alike on this route.
