Which side of the plane to sit from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the preferred choice for this route as it offers the most direct views of the rugged High Tatra Mountains shortly after takeoff and provides an exceptional perspective of the Stockholm Archipelago during the descent into Arlanda.
