Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of Stockholm's city center and Södermalm upon takeoff, followed by a dramatic perspective of the southern tip of Lake Vättern and the dense Småland highlands.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Stockholm City Center

Unmatched views of Södermalm, Gamla Stan, and the surrounding Baltic archipelago immediately after lifting off from Bromma.

💧

Lake Vättern

The plane typically passes the southern basin of Sweden's second-largest lake, offering views of the deep blue water and steep shorelines.

🏘️

Jönköping

The urban layout of Jönköping is often visible at the base of Lake Vättern, acting as a major waypoint during the mid-flight.

🌲

Småland Highlands

Vast stretches of dark green spruce and pine forests punctuated by thousands of tiny, mirror-like lakes.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare while capturing Stockholm's skyline. This side is particularly scenic in autumn when the deciduous forests around the lakes turn vibrant orange and yellow.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏰

Drottningholm Palace

The Royal residence and UNESCO World Heritage site is frequently visible just seconds after takeoff depending on the departure runway.

🌊

Lake Hjälmaren

A large, shallow lake known for its complex shoreline and proximity to the city of Örebro in the distance.

🌾

Västgöta Plains

Expansive agricultural flatlands that create a patchwork quilt effect, especially striking during the harvest season.

🏞️

Lake Mjörn

A beautiful, island-heavy lake situated just northeast of Gothenburg that signals the beginning of the final approach into Landvetter.

The right side is best for spotting royal landmarks early in the flight. Keep your camera ready within the first 120 seconds of flight. In winter, look for the intricate patterns of ice formations on the smaller lakes of Västergötland.
