Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Oresund Bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden, followed by a spectacular descent over the vast Stockholm Archipelago.
Hamburg Port
Aerial view of one of Europe's largest ports and the winding Elbe River in Northern Germany.
Oresund Bridge
The architectural marvel connecting Copenhagen to Malmö across the blue Oresund strait.

Lake Vättern
