BKK → ARN
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting conditions as it faces north away from the sun during the westward journey. It provides a front-row seat to the massive Central Asian mountain ranges and a better angle for the spectacular Stockholm Archipelago on arrival.

Himalayan Horizon
Distant views of the world's highest peaks along the northern horizon while passing over South Asia.
Central Asian Deserts
Stunning geometric sand patterns and red hues of the Kyzylkum Desert in Uzbekistan.
Caspian Sea Shore
The stark contrast between the turquoise waters of the world's largest inland body of water and the surrounding arid land.
Latvian Coastline
The white sandy beaches and dense pine forests along the Gulf of Riga as you enter European airspace.
Stockholm Archipelago
An incredible mosaic of thousands of islands and islets as the plane maneuvers for landing at Arlanda.
The right side is the photographer's choice. It avoids direct sunlight for most of the flight, keeping colors saturated and reducing window reflections. For the best view of the Stockholm Archipelago, look out during the last 20 minutes of flight. If the flight path is northerly, you may also spot the Tianshan Mountains in Central Asia.

Bangkok Skyline
Aerial views of the Chao Phraya River and the dense urban sprawl of the Thai capital immediately after takeoff.
Indo-Gangetic Plain
Vast, intricate patterns of agricultural fields across Northern India and Pakistan.
Caucasus Mountains
Rugged, snow-capped peaks visible when the flight path skirts the southern edge of the Black Sea region.
Baltic Sea Traffic
Active shipping lanes and ferries traversing the waters between the Baltic states and Scandinavia.
Swedish Lakeland
The deep green forests and countless blue lakes of the Södermanland province during the final descent.
Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views if your flight departs in the afternoon. On the final approach into ARN from the south, this side often sees the urban center of Stockholm in the distance. However, be prepared for significant sun glare throughout the middle 80% of the flight.
