BLL → ARN
Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is superior for this route as it typically offers a stunning panorama of the Stockholm archipelago and city center during the standard descent into Arlanda, along with a better view of Lake Vättern.

Danish Belt Bridges
On clear days, you can spot the impressive engineering of the Great Belt Bridge in the distance to the south.
Lake Vättern
A prime view of this deep, crystal-clear rift lake, often appearing remarkably blue from high altitude.
Östergötland Plains
The fertile agricultural heartland of Sweden, featuring historic towns like Linköping and its tall cathedral spire.
Stockholm City View
On the standard approach (Runway 01L/R), you get a perfect view of Gamla Stan and the central city islands.
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of thousands of islands, islets, and rocks as the plane turns for its final approach.
The right side is essential for the iconic Stockholm 'approach shot.' Choose a window seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the archipelago isn't blocked. Evening flights are particularly beautiful as the city lights reflect off the Baltic waters.

Jutland Coastline
Aerial view of the eastern Danish coast and the transition from land to the Kattegat sea shortly after takeoff.
Gothenburg Archipelago
The rugged, rocky islands of the Swedish west coast near Gothenburg are visible as you enter Swedish airspace.
Lake Vänern
Views of the southern shores of the largest lake in the EU, known for its vast, sea-like horizon.
Central Swedish Forests
Dense expanses of dark green spruce and pine forests punctuated by small, mirror-like glacial lakes.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking towards the northern horizon; in the late afternoon, this side avoids direct sun glare. During winter, look for the 'frozen' texture of the northern lakes. Early morning flights offer soft light over the Kattegat sea.
