Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the central Alps, the stunning Tuscan coastline, and a dramatic close-up of Corsica's rugged mountains before touching down in Sardinia.
Öresund Bridge
The iconic engineering marvel connecting Malmö and Copenhagen is often visible to the west shortly after departure.
Swiss Alps
Vast views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers as the flight path crosses central Europe southward.
Elba Island
Napoleon's place of exile is clearly visible as a green jewel in the blue Mediterranean waters.
Corsica
The dramatic, high mountain ridges of the French island provide a stunning contrast to the surrounding sea.
Costa Smeralda
The final approach offers views of the world-famous turquoise bays and white sand beaches of northern Sardinia.
Choose the right side for stunning sunset views over the sea. Keep your camera ready as you pass Elba and Corsica; the descent into Olbia often follows the coastline, providing incredible views of the crystal-clear Emerald Coast waters. Late afternoon flights offer the most dramatic shadows over the Alps.
Stockholm Archipelago
Thousands of forested islands and rocky islets scattered across the Baltic Sea visible immediately after takeoff.
The Dolomites
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Alps provide a spectacular high-altitude landscape.
Italian Apennines
The mountainous backbone of Italy, featuring rolling green hills and high-altitude ridges.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep blue water views as the plane crosses from the Italian mainland toward the island of Sardinia.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Stockholm archipelago at takeoff and the jagged Dolomites during the mid-flight crossing. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting for the Italian interior landscapes without glare.
