FLL β ARN
Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the US East Coast to the icy wilderness of Greenland and the volcanic landscapes of Iceland, followed by the jagged fjords of Norway.
US Northeast Corridor
Clear views of the dense urban lights of the Boston-New York corridor during the initial climb phase.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Breathtaking perspectives of the massive southern glaciers and deep blue fjords of Greenland if the northern track is taken.
Icelandic Terrain
The volcanic coastline and rugged mountains of southern Iceland are often visible as you cross the North Atlantic.
Norwegian Scandes
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Scandinavian Mountains and the intricate fjord systems of Western Norway.
Swedish Wilderness
Dense pine forests and thousands of lakes as the plane begins its descent over central Sweden.
Stockholm Archipelago
The intricate network of thousands of islands leading into the Swedish capital during the final approach.
Since this is an eastbound flight, you will likely fly overnight. Choose the left side to potentially witness the Aurora Borealis over the North Atlantic during winter months. As you approach Stockholm in the morning, the left side avoids the direct glare of the rising sun, providing clearer views of the Norwegian and Swedish landscapes. Keep your window shade open about 2 hours before landing for the best scenery.
Florida Gold Coast
A stunning look at the Fort Lauderdale and Miami coastline immediately after takeoff from FLL.
Gulf Stream
Watch the deep blue colors of the Gulf Stream current against the lighter turquoise of the coastal shelf.
Skagerrak Strait
The busy shipping lanes between Denmark and Norway as the aircraft enters Scandinavian airspace.
Lake VΓ€nern
Views of Sweden's largest lake, an expansive body of water that looks like an inland sea.
Stockholm Cityscape
Depending on the wind direction, the right side may offer views of the 'Venice of the North' city center during landing.
The right side is south-facing, meaning you will experience significant sun glare during the morning arrival. However, it is the better side for seeing the Florida coast upon departure. If you are a light sleeper, be aware that the sunrise will hit this side of the plane early in the flight, potentially making the cabin quite bright.
