Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Baltic Sea coastline, the engineering marvels of the Øresund region, and the iconic Stockholm archipelago during the final descent.
The Ruhr Megalopolis
An impressive view of Europe's densest urban and industrial corridor right after departure.
Fehmarn Belt
The scenic water crossing between Germany and the Danish islands of Lolland and Falster.
Copenhagen & Malmö
On clear days, the Øresund Bridge and the turning torso tower are visible in the distance.
Baltic Islands
Aerial views of the Swedish coastline and the northern tip of Öland island.
Stockholm Archipelago
The stunning finale featuring thousands of granite islands and forested islets before landing.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent. To maximize the view of the Stockholm archipelago, choose a seat behind the wing. For morning flights, be prepared for bright sunlight reflecting off the Baltic Sea.
Westphalian Lowlands
Green agricultural patchworks and historic towns of Northwest Germany shortly after takeoff.
Elbe Estuary
The massive shipping lanes and harbor infrastructure surrounding the city of Hamburg.
The Kattegat
The sparkling waters separating Denmark and Sweden, often dotted with cargo vessels.
Swedish Heartland
Vast expanses of deep green coniferous forests typical of the Småland region.
Lake Mälaren
Sweden's third-largest lake with its intricate shoreline and numerous small islands.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is excellent for seeing the inland lake systems of Sweden as you approach Arlanda from the west.
