BMA → HEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Bromma Airport (Stockholm) to Helsinki Vantaa Airport (Helsinki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Stockholm city center shortly after takeoff from Bromma and provides a more comprehensive perspective of the dense southern island clusters in both the Stockholm and Turku archipelagos.
Search flights from BMA to HEL
Stockholm City Center
BMA departures often provide a stunning banking view of the Royal Palace, Gamla Stan, and the City Hall.
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking expanse of nearly 30,000 islands and islets stretching out into the Baltic Sea.
Mariehamn
The maritime capital of Åland is frequently visible mid-flight, characterized by its twin harbors.
Turku Archipelago
One of the world's most complex island systems, featuring a labyrinth of waterways and summer cottages.
The right side is the clear winner for city views of Stockholm. In the late afternoon or evening, the low sun illuminates the granite islands of the archipelago with a golden hue. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the island patterns which are the highlight of this short 50-minute route.

Bromma & Lake Mälaren
Aerial views of Stockholm's western suburbs and the easternmost parts of Lake Mälaren upon departure.
Vaxholm Fortress
The historic sea fortress guarding the northern entrance to Stockholm is often visible early in the flight.
Northern Åland
Glacial-sculpted red granite islands and the rugged northern coastline of the Åland autonomous region.
Finnish Lakeland Fringe
As the descent into Vantaa begins, the landscape shifts to a mosaic of deep green forests and small lakes.
Sit on the left for softer, indirect light during midday flights which is better for photography. During the winter months, this side offers the best chance to see the northern horizon, though the sun will be low. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes after takeoff for the northern fringe of the archipelago.
