Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe)?

The right side of the aircraft offers the most iconic Swedish vistas, including the sprawling Lake Mälaren, the deep rift valley of Lake Vättern, and the best opportunity to spot the Øresund Bridge and Copenhagen during the descent.

Stockholm City Center
Depending on the departure runway, you often get a panoramic view of the capital's historic islands and Gamla Stan.
Lake Mälaren
Sweden's third-largest lake, dotted with historic castles and winding bays, dominates the view after takeoff.
Lake Vättern
A spectacular view of the long, narrow lake known for its deep blue, exceptionally clear water and the island of Visingsö.
Omberg Hill
A distinct forested mountain rising sharply from the eastern shore of Lake Vättern.
Øresund Horizon
On clear days during the descent into Sturup, look west to see the Øresund Bridge connecting Malmö to Denmark.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over inland Sweden. Pay close attention mid-flight as the aircraft parallels Lake Vättern; it is one of the most recognizable geographic landmarks in Scandinavia. For the best photography, avoid seats directly over the wing to keep the vast lake views unobstructed.

Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning aerial view of thousands of granite islands and forested islets as you climb south from Arlanda.
Baltic Coastline
The rugged and indented coastline of Södermanland and Östergötland remains visible for much of the cruise.
Linköping & Norrköping
Major urban centers in East Gothland appear as dense clusters amidst the surrounding greenery.
Scanian Patchwork
The flat, fertile agricultural heartland of Scania creates a vibrant yellow and green mosaic during approach.
Choose the left side for morning departures to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Baltic Sea. This side is also excellent for spotting the complex waterway systems of the Göta Canal near Linköping. Ensure you look out early for the best archipelago views.
