Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the historic Drottningholm Palace immediately after takeoff from Bromma, followed by expansive views of Sweden's second-largest lake, Vättern, and the scenic arrival over Lake Helgasjön.

🏰

Drottningholm Palace

The UNESCO World Heritage royal residence is clearly visible shortly after takeoff from BMA.

🛶

Lake Mälaren

Navigate over the intricate network of islands and waterways that define the western Stockholm area.

🌊

Lake Vättern

Views of the eastern shores of this massive, crystal-clear lake during the mid-flight cruise phase.

🏘️

Linköping City

A bird's eye view of the aviation city of Linköping and the SAAB airfield.

🏰

Kronoberg Castle Ruins

Located on an island in Lake Helgasjön, visible during the final descent into Växjö.

Book a window seat on the right for the best photographic opportunities of Drottningholm. On the descent into VXO, look for the ruins of Kronoberg Castle nestled in Lake Helgasjön. This side generally provides more iconic landmarks for this short domestic hop.

🏙️

Södermalm & Suburbs

As the plane climbs, see the southern residential districts of Stockholm fading into the Södermanland countryside.

🌊

Bråviken Bay

A glimpse of the deep Baltic Sea inlet near Norrköping that carves into the Swedish mainland.

🌲

Kolmården Forests

Vast stretches of dense Swedish pine and spruce forests typical of the region between Stockholm and the south.
