ARN โ TLL
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (Tallinn-ulemiste International)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Stockholm Archipelago upon departure and provides the best chance of spotting the Tallinn Old Town skyline during the final approach into Estonia.
Stockholm City Skyline
Catch a glimpse of the Swedish capital's spires and the 'Venice of the North' layout during the initial climb.
The Archipelago Maze
Stunning aerial perspective of the 30,000 islands, islets, and rocks that make up the Stockholm archipelago.
Naissaar Island
A large, forested island in the Gulf of Tallinn that marks the final approach phase.
Tallinn Old Town
Visible during the descent, showing the UNESCO-listed medieval walls, spires, and Toompea Hill.
Lake รlemiste
The massive freshwater lake located directly adjacent to the Tallinn airport runway.
The right side is the 'sunny side' on this eastbound route; bring sunglasses. For the best views of Tallinn's medieval center, hope for a landing from the west (Runway 08), which places the city directly outside your window.
Uppland Landscapes
View the dense forests and small lakes of the Swedish mainland immediately after takeoff from Arlanda.
Northern Archipelago Rim
Observe the outer islands of the Stockholm archipelago and the transition into the open Baltic Sea.
Baltic Ferries
Look for the large cruise ferries traveling the maritime corridors between Stockholm, Turku, and Helsinki.
Gulf of Finland Horizon
On clear days, see the distant northern horizon where the Baltic Sea meets the Finnish coastline.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Since this is an eastbound flight, the left side (north-facing) provides softer lighting and is ideal for photography without sun glare during midday flights.
