Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular view of the Mediterranean coastline upon departure, potential glimpses of the distant Alps over France, and a scenic approach over the Baltic Sea and the Swedish Archipelago.
Costa Brava
The rugged cliffs and turquoise bays of the Catalan coast immediately after departure.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the distant western peaks of the Alps are visible while cruising over Eastern France.
Øresund Bridge
The iconic bridge and tunnel system connecting Denmark and Sweden visible over the Baltic.
Swedish Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands and rocky outcrops near Nyköping.
Nyköping Harbor
Clear views of the coastal town and the Baltic Sea inlet just before landing at Skavsta.
The right side is superior for the approach into Sweden, offering views of the Baltic coast. Morning flights are ideal for this side to capture the light reflecting off the Swedish islands. Keep an eye out for the Øresund Bridge roughly 30 minutes before landing.
Barcelona Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Eixample district grid and the Sagrada Família shortly after takeoff.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks separating Spain and France near Andorra.
Loire Valley
Aerial perspective of the winding rivers and historic chateaux of central France.
Dutch Coastline
The intricate network of dikes and reclaimed land along the Netherlands coast.
Södermanland Forests
Dense green Swedish woodlands and glacial lakes during the final descent.
Choose the left side for the best views of Barcelona's urban layout during departure. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so keep the window shade partially down to avoid glare while crossing the Pyrenees.
