Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Stockholm Archipelago immediately after departure and provides a more dramatic perspective of the Carpathian and Taurus mountain ranges before the Mediterranean approach.

Stockholm Archipelago
Thousands of small islands and rocks visible right after takeoff from Arlanda.
Eastern Carpathians
Rugged, forested peaks as the flight passes over Romania.
Bucharest
The sprawling Romanian capital, featuring the massive Palace of the Parliament.
Taurus Mountains
Snow-capped peaks in southern Turkey before crossing the Mediterranean coast.
Cyprus Coastline
Views of the northern and eastern shores of the island of Cyprus.
Israeli Shoreline
A sweeping view of the northern Israeli coast and the Galilee region during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. This side is particularly spectacular during the first 15 minutes of flight over the Swedish coast. On the final approach to TLV, the left side often sees the urban sprawl of central Israel and the mountains of the West Bank in the distance.

Øresund Strait

Central European Cities
Potential views of the outskirts of Warsaw or Budapest depending on the specific air corridor.
The Danube River
The winding blue path of Europe's second-longest river as it cuts through the Balkans.
Balkan Highlands
The rolling terrain and deep valleys of Bulgaria and Serbia.
Mediterranean Horizon
Vast turquoise waters and distant views of the Greek islands like Rhodes.
Tel Aviv Skyline
The modern skyscrapers and beachfront of the 'White City' during the final bank into Ben Gurion.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as you'll see the sun dip into the Mediterranean Sea. If the flight approach pattern comes from the west (which is common), the right side provides the iconic postcard view of the Tel Aviv shoreline and the ancient city of Jaffa just before landing.
