ARN β SKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior mountain vistas, including the High Tatras and the iconic Mount Olympus during the final descent into Thessaloniki.
Lake MΓ€laren
Sweden's third-largest lake with its complex network of bays and islands visible shortly after takeoff.
High Tatra Mountains
The highest range in the Carpathians, featuring snow-capped peaks along the Polish-Slovak border.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, easily identifiable by its elongated shape and milky turquoise water.
Belgrade Confluence
The meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers in the heart of the Serbian capital.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods, standing as the highest peak in Greece near the end of the route.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best views of Mount Olympus, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view during the descent into SKG. In winter, the Tatras are particularly stunning when covered in snow. Afternoon flights will enjoy the sun setting over the Balkan landscape to the west.
Stockholm Archipelago
View thousands of granite islands and forested islets immediately after departure from Arlanda.
Baltic Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the Baltic shipping lanes as the flight heads south towards central Europe.
Warsaw Skyline
Depending on the corridor, the Polish capital and the Vistula River may be visible mid-flight.
Danube Bend
The dramatic curve of the Danube River north of Budapest as it cuts through the mountains.
Thermaic Gulf
Deep blue Mediterranean waters and the coastal stretch of Halkidiki during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is excellent for spotting the intricate coastline of the Stockholm archipelago during the initial climb. During the descent, watch for the distinct three-fingered shape of the Halkidiki peninsula to the southeast.
