Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route primarily due to the spectacular descent into Nice. As the aircraft approaches the Mediterranean, you get a panoramic view of the French Riviera coastline, including Monaco and the Cap d'Ail, which are frequently missed from the right.

Stockholm Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the 30,000 islands and islets surrounding the Swedish capital during takeoff.
Central Alps
A sprawling view of the Austrian and Swiss Alpine peaks as the flight crosses into Southern Europe.
French Riviera Coastline
Unbeatable views of the azure waters and the jagged coastline of the Cote d'Azur during the final descent.
Monaco View
On many approach paths, you can spot the high-rises of Monte Carlo and the Prince's Palace to the left.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine obstruction. During summer, mid-day flights provide the best lighting for the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. If the flight arrives from the east over the sea, the left side offers a front-row seat to the coastline landmarks.

Lake Mälaren
Serene views of Sweden's third-largest lake and the lush greenery of the surrounding countryside.
Øresund Bridge
The iconic architectural link between Sweden and Denmark is often visible to the west shortly after takeoff.
Mont Blanc
Depending on the specific airway, Europe's highest peak can be seen towering over the Western Alps.
Nice City Center
Provides a direct view of the Promenade des Anglais and the city's red-roofed buildings upon touchdown.
The right side is excellent for catching a glimpse of Mont Blanc if the pilot takes a more westerly route over the Alps. For morning flights, the right side is preferred to avoid the direct glare of the sun while heading south. Keep a look out for the Var river valley just before landing.
