ARN β LCA
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of Central European landmarks like the High Tatras and the Danube, followed by a spectacular crossing of the Taurus Mountains in Turkey and the turquoise Mediterranean coastline.
Swedish Coastline
Panoramic views of the Swedish mainland and the industrial ports along the southeastern coast.
High Tatra Mountains
Dramatic, jagged peaks on the border of Poland and Slovakia, providing the most rugged terrain of the trip.
Budapest & Danube
On many flight paths, the Hungarian capital and the winding Danube River are visible from high altitude.
Taurus Mountains
Massive, limestone peaks in Southern Turkey that create a stark contrast with the blue sea below.
Turkish Riviera
Views of the Antalya gulf and the 'Turquoise Coast' before the final stretch across the Mediterranean.
The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and heat. In the late afternoon, this side offers incredible sunset views over the Mediterranean as you approach Cyprus.
Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning aerial view of thousands of islands and islets immediately after takeoff from Arlanda.
Gotland and Γland
Clear views of Sweden's largest islands in the middle of the Baltic Sea during the first hour.
Carpathian Mountains
The sweeping arc of the Romanian Carpathians, often featuring snow-capped peaks in winter.
Black Sea Horizon
Distant views of the Bulgarian and Turkish coastlines as the flight heads toward the Levant.
Kyrenia Mountains
The 'Five Finger' mountain range of Northern Cyprus becomes visible during the final descent into Larnaca.
The left side is ideal for morning flights if you want to see the sun rising over the Baltic, but be prepared for high-altitude glare. On descent, this side provides the best view of the Karpas Peninsula.
