Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Sarajevo International Airport (Sarajevo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Swedish coastline, the industrial ports of northern Poland, and a more dramatic approach over the rugged Dinaric Alps into Sarajevo.
Lake Mälaren
Sweeping views of Sweden's third-largest lake and the lush greenery surrounding the capital region.
Gdańsk Bay
The major industrial ports of the Polish Tri-City area and the long, thin Hel Peninsula.
Kraków
The medieval spire-filled skyline of Poland's historic cultural heart near the southern border.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, appearing as a long, turquoise stripe across the Hungarian landscape.
Dinaric Alps
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys that characterize the final descent into the Sarajevo basin.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Swedish coast. The final 20 minutes are spectacular; watch for the 1984 Olympic mountains, Igman and Bjelašnica, as the plane weaves through the valleys for landing at SJJ. Visibility is often clearest in late spring.
Stockholm Archipelago
Thousands of tiny forested islands and islets scattered across the Baltic Sea shortly after takeoff.
Warsaw Cityscape
The sprawling Polish capital with its distinct mix of modern skyscrapers and historical architecture.
High Tatra Mountains
Sharp, snow-capped granite peaks forming the natural border between Poland and Slovakia.
Budapest & The Danube
The majestic Danube River winding through the heart of the Hungarian capital and its historic Parliament building.
Drina River Valley
Deep canyons and turquoise waters carving through the dense forests of eastern Bosnia.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. Keep an eye out about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the distinctive curve of the Danube River near Budapest. In winter, the snow cover on the High Tatras is particularly striking from this side.
