Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Tampere-Pirkkala Airport (Tampere)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the world-renowned Stockholm, Åland, and Turku archipelagos, featuring thousands of islands and the intricate Finnish Lake District on approach.
Stockholm Archipelago
An incredible view of the 30,000 islands and islets that comprise the Swedish capital's coastal fringe.
Åland Islands
The distinct and beautiful landscape of the semi-autonomous Åland archipelago in the middle of the Baltic.
Turku Archipelago
One of the most dense island clusters in the world, featuring a maze of granite rocks and blue water.
Tampere City Center
Clear views of the city's unique isthmus location between two major lakes, including the Näsinneula tower.
Lake Pyhäjärvi
The southern lake of Tampere, offering a picturesque backdrop during the final approach to Pirkkala.
This is the premier side for photography. For the best lighting over the islands, book a late afternoon or evening flight when the sun illuminates the archipelago from the west. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff and 15 minutes before landing.
Uppland Woodlands
Dense Swedish evergreen forests and rural landscapes immediately following departure from Arlanda.
Gulf of Bothnia
The open northern waters of the Baltic Sea stretching toward the horizon.
Satakunta Coastline
The rugged western coast of Finland near Pori and Rauma as the aircraft crosses the maritime border.
Lake Näsijärvi
A massive lake north of Tampere visible during the final descent and banking maneuvers.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. It provides a clearer view of the industrial ports of the Finnish west coast. During winter, look for the distinct edge where the frozen sea meets the land.
