Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Växjö Kronoberg Airport (Vaxjo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for Lake Vättern, Sweden's second-largest lake, and the dramatic landscapes of the Småland highlands.
Lake Mälaren
Sweden's third-largest lake, visible shortly after takeoff from Arlanda.
Göta Canal
The historic blue ribbon of Sweden, cutting through the landscape near Linköping.
Omberg Mountain
A dramatic forested mountain rising directly from the eastern shore of Lake Vättern.
Visingsö Island
The elongated island in the middle of Lake Vättern, famous for its history and oak forests.
Helgasjön
The large lake north of Växjö featuring the ruins of Kronoberg Castle upon approach.
The right side is the clear winner for scenic value. The flight path usually runs parallel to Lake Vättern; ensure you have a window seat to see the clear blue waters and Visingsö. In winter, the contrast between the frozen smaller lakes and the deep blue of Vättern is breathtaking. Late afternoon flights offer the best lighting as the sun sets to the west.
Stockholm Suburbs
Aerial views of the southern Stockholm metropolitan area and Södermanland's rolling landscape.
Bråviken Bay
A long, narrow inlet of the Baltic Sea leading into the industrial city of Norrköping.
Småland Forests
Deep, expansive coniferous forests characteristic of the region, dotted with thousands of small lakes.
East Coast Line
Distances views of the Baltic coastline and the start of the southern Swedish archipelago.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Baltic Sea in the distance. This side is better for observing the dense forestry and the grid-like patterns of southern Swedish agriculture. Look for the 'red cottage' aesthetic typical of the Swedish countryside.
