Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Pula Airport (Pula)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Austrian Alps' highest peaks and a more dramatic approach over the islands of the Kvarner Gulf before landing in Istria.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Stockholm Archipelago

Breathtaking views of thousands of small islands and rocks scattered in the Baltic Sea immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿฐ

Central European Vistas

Glimpses of the Czech landscape and potentially the outskirts of Prague depending on the specific airway used.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Eastern Alpine Range

Stunning views of the Austrian Alps, including the snow-capped peaks of the Hohe Tauern national park.

๐ŸŒฒ

Slovenian Karst

Dense green forests and deep limestone valleys as the plane crosses into Southern Europe.

๐ŸŒŠ

Kvarner Gulf

A spectacular view of Rijeka and the islands of Krk and Cres during the initial descent into Pula.

Sit behind the wing for unobstructed photos of the Alps. This side is particularly beautiful for morning flights as the sun illuminates the mountains from the east. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the mountain crossing.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Vรคttern

Views of Sweden's second-largest lake and the surrounding lush countryside during the climb phase.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Northern German Coast

The transition from the Baltic Sea to the German mainland, often passing near the island of Rรผgen.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Julian Alps

Impressive views of Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia, characterized by its jagged limestone face.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Istrian Peninsula

The rugged, heart-shaped coastline of Istria with its turquoise waters becomes visible during final approach.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Brijuni Islands

The 14 islands of the Brijuni National Park appear just off the coast shortly before touchdown.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. As the plane descends into Pula, watch for the Roman Arena which may be visible if the aircraft approaches from the north.
