ARN → PRG
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the German Baltic coastline, including Rügen Island, and the scenic descent over the Ore Mountains into Bohemia.
Lake Mälaren
Excellent views of Sweden's third-largest lake and the lush Swedish countryside immediately after takeoff from Arlanda.
Rügen Island
The striking white chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park on the German coast are a major geographic highlight of this route.
Berlin Outskirts
Depending on the specific airway, the western periphery of the German capital and its surrounding forest-lake districts can be seen.
Ore Mountains
The Erzgebirge range forms a natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic, offering dense forest views and rolling ridges.
Bohemian Landscape
A scenic descent over the volcanic hills of the České Středohoří toward the Kladno region before landing at PRG.
The right side is highly recommended for spotting the German coastline and the mountain ranges on the approach to Prague. During winter, the Ore Mountains are often snow-capped, providing a dramatic visual transition into the Czech Republic. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Rügen cliffs.
Stockholm Archipelago
Stunning views of the thousands of islands and islets spreading out from the Swedish capital during the initial climb.
Baltic Sea Horizon
A vast blue expanse during the cruise phase, often dotted with cargo ships and ferries crossing between Scandinavia and Poland.
Gdańsk Bay
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Polish 'Tricity' and the unique Hel Peninsula may be visible to the southeast.
Silesian Lowlands
The transition into Central Europe features the geometric patterns of Polish and Czech agricultural heartlands.
Prague Suburbs
Glimpses of the Vltava River and the red-roofed districts of eastern Prague during the final approach.
Sit on the left for the most iconic views of the Stockholm islands if the wind dictates a southbound departure. For evening flights, this side experiences softer, indirect light, making it better for glare-free photography of the Baltic Sea.
