Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks including the Oresund Bridge, the highest peaks of the Alps (including Mont Blanc on clear days), the Pyrenees, and the dramatic Catalan coastline before crossing to Mallorca.
Oresund Bridge
A clear view of the architectural marvel connecting Malmo, Sweden, and Copenhagen, Denmark.
Copenhagen Skyline
Views of the Danish capital and the busy shipping lanes of the Oresund strait.
Western Alps
Spectacular vistas of the Swiss and French Alps, often including the snow-capped Mont Blanc.
The Pyrenees
The natural border between France and Spain, showcasing sharp ridges and high-altitude lakes.
Costa Brava
The beautiful, rugged coastline of Catalonia and the city of Barcelona often visible to the west.
Palma Bay
A perfect view of the Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma and the marina during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the Alps, and again 30 minutes before landing for the Spanish coastline. This side typically offers the best view of the Palma Cathedral during the final banking turns into PMI.
Stockholm Archipelago
Stunning views of the thousands of islands surrounding the Swedish capital during the initial climb.
Baltic Sea Coast
Follows the eastern coastline of Sweden, offering views of the island of Gotland in the distance.
Tyrolean Alps
Dramatic views of the jagged Austrian and German Alpine peaks and deep green valleys.
Northern Mallorca
Excellent views of the rugged Serra de Tramuntana mountain range as the plane begins its descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Baltic. It is particularly good for seeing the rural landscapes of Eastern Germany and the limestone cliffs of northern Mallorca during the landing pattern.
