Which side of the plane to sit from Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unbeatable panorama of the High Alps and Mont Blanc immediately after takeoff, followed by a dramatic approach over the Stockholm Archipelago.
The High Alps
Breathtaking views of Mont Blanc and the snow-capped peaks of the Valais shortly after departure.
Black Forest
Dense, dark green canopies covering the rolling hills of southwestern Germany.
Öresund Bridge
The iconic engineering marvel connecting Copenhagen and Malmö across the Baltic Sea.
Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands and islets as the plane descends into Arlanda.
Priority choice for photographers. Ensure you look out immediately after takeoff from GVA for the Alps. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, the archipelago views are most prominent on this side, especially if landing from the south.
Lake Geneva
Exquisite views of the northern crescent of the lake and the city of Lausanne.
Jura Mountains
The limestone ridges and lush valleys marking the border between Switzerland and France.
Frankfurt Skyline
On clear days, the high-rise 'Mainhattan' district is visible as you transit German airspace.
Lake Vättern
Sweden's long, slender second-largest lake appearing as a deep blue ribbon below.
Sit here for better lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the Jura range and the Swedish interior's numerous small lakes during the descent.
