Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Bromma Airport (Stockholm) to Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct view of the Stockholm city center immediately after takeoff from Bromma, followed by superior views of the eastern shore of Lake Vättern and the scenic approach into the southern plains of Skåne.
Stockholm City Center
Unmatched views of Gamla Stan and the central islands of the capital shortly after takeoff.
Lake Vättern
A long stretch of Sweden's second-largest lake, often passing right over the city of Jönköping at the southern tip.
Småland Highlands
The deep, dark forests and thousands of scattered 'mirror' lakes characteristic of southern Sweden.
Linköping Cathedral
Clear view of the historic city and its prominent spire as you transition south.
The Plains of Skåne
The landscape transforms into a vibrant patchwork of yellow rapeseed and green wheat fields during descent.
Book an early morning flight for the best light hitting the Stockholm skyline. Keep your camera ready within the first 3 minutes of departure; Bromma's proximity to the city center makes for spectacular low-altitude urban photography. Look for the Omberg mountain rising sharply by Lake Vättern mid-flight.
Drottningholm Palace
The UNESCO World Heritage royal residence is frequently visible to the west of the flight path during climb-out.
Lake Mälaren
Intricate views of the vast island network and summer cottages surrounding the Stockholm region.
Kolmården Forest
A massive green belt of wilderness that marks the border between the Södermanland and Östergötland provinces.
The Södra Stambanan
Follow the path of the high-speed railway line cutting through the Swedish countryside below.
Sit on the right side for sunset flights to enjoy the glow over the Baltic coast and Lake Mälaren. During the winter months, this side often provides a better view of the sunset's reflection on the snowy plains of Scania during the final descent into Malmö Sturup.
