Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a spectacular vantage point for the Stockholm Archipelago shortly after departure and the historic island of Gotland during the mid-flight phase.
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking view of thousands of islands and islets immediately after departing Arlanda.
Gotland Island
The distinct shape of Sweden's largest island and the medieval town of Visby can often be spotted.
Lithuanian Plains
A patchwork of agricultural fields and rural villages as the plane enters the heart of the Baltics.
Minsk City Panorama
A sweeping view of the Belarusian capital's layout and Independence Avenue during the final approach.
The first 15 minutes are crucial for the archipelago views; ensure your window is clear. On evening flights, this side offers stunning sunset views over the Baltic Sea during the southern leg of the trip.
Uppland Coastline
The rugged edge of mainland Sweden visible immediately after takeoff from Arlanda.
Baltic Sea Ferries
Look for large cruise ships and cargo vessels navigating the shipping lanes below.
Latvian Woodlands
Expansive green canopies and winding rivers covering the northern Baltic territories.
Vileyka Reservoir
A massive artificial lake in northern Belarus often used as a landmark for descent.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct southern sunlight. Keep an eye out for the distant Estonian islands if the flight path tracks further north than usual.
