DUB β ARN
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an excellent panorama of the English urban belt and a high-probability view of the stunning Stockholm archipelago and city outskirts during the final descent.
Dublin City Center
A clear view of the River Liffey, St. Stephen's Green, and the industrial docks during the initial climb.
The Northern Powerhouse
The dense urban sprawl of the Manchester, Liverpool, and Leeds metropolitan areas as you cross Northern England.
Historic York
The distinctive gothic towers of York Minster are often visible as a landmark amidst the Yorkshire plains.
Gothenburg Archipelago
The rocky islands and inlets of the Swedish west coast as the flight transitions from the North Sea.
Stockholm Archipelago
A spectacular mosaic of thousands of pine-covered islands and red summer cottages during the approach to Arlanda.
The right side is the 'money seat' for the approach. If the aircraft lands toward the North (Runway 01L/R), you will often fly a downwind leg that provides a perfect view of Stockholm City and the Royal Palace. For evening flights, the sunset over the Baltic Sea reflects beautifully off the Swedish lake system.
Howth Head
Dramatic views of the rugged peninsula and Baily Lighthouse immediately after taking off from Dublin.
The Lake District
Aerial perspective of England's most famous national park, featuring dark peaks and deep blue glacial lakes.
Dogger Bank
A shallow area of the North Sea often visible by the distinct change in water color and presence of fishing vessels.
Jutland Peninsula
The northern tip of Denmark with its sweeping sandy beaches and coastal wind farms.
Lake VΓ€nern
The largest lake in Sweden and the European Union, looking like an inland sea from cruising altitude.
Choose the left side for better lighting conditions on morning flights to avoid direct southern sun glare. Keep a close eye out about 20 minutes after departure for the Isle of Man. During winter, this side offers the best chance of spotting the aurora borealis on late evening flights as you head into higher latitudes.
