Firth of Forth Bridges
Aerial view of the UNESCO-listed Forth Bridge alongside the road bridges immediately after takeoff.
Fife Coastline
Clear views of the East Neuk of Fife, including the historic fishing villages and rugged North Sea cliffs.
North Sea Transit
Watch for massive cargo ships and potentially offshore wind farms during the sea crossing.
Lake Mälaren
As the plane enters Swedish airspace, enjoy views of the sprawling, island-filled Lake Mälaren.
Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands and islets visible as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. On evening winter flights, keep an eye on the northern horizon for a chance to spot the Aurora Borealis during the North Sea crossing. The 'A' seats are preferred for the best bridge views during the steep climb out of EDI.

St Andrews
A distant view of the world-famous Old Course and the historic University town of St Andrews.
North Jutland
On very clear days, the northern tip of Denmark (Skagen) may be visible across the water.
Lake Vättern
Views of the elongated, deep-blue Lake Vättern, one of Europe's largest freshwater bodies.
Swedish Heartland
A patchwork of Swedish forests and agricultural fields typical of the Götaland and Svealand regions.
Stockholm Outskirts
Views of the suburban architecture and well-organized urban planning of Stockholm's southern districts.
The right side (F seats) is excellent for catching the sunset over the sea on afternoon flights. If the wind dictates a northern approach to Arlanda, this side may provide a better view of the Swedish inland forest landscapes. Ensure your window is clean, as the low sun angle can highlight any smudges.
