HAD → ARN
Which side of the plane to sit from Halmstad Airport (Halmstad) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it provides a prime vantage point for the Stockholm Archipelago (Skärgården) during the descent into Arlanda, along with the eastern shores of Lake Vättern.

Laholm Bay
Dramatic coastal views of the Kattegat sea during the initial climb out of Halmstad.
Visingsö Island
The elongated island in the middle of Lake Vättern, known for its oak forests and ruins.
Linköping & Norrköping
The 'Twin Cities' region of Östergötland is visible mid-flight, showing the industrial heart of the area.
Stockholm Archipelago
The highlight of the trip; thousands of islands scattered across the Baltic Sea during the descent into Arlanda.
The right side is essential for viewing the archipelago. Try to book a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the islands. In summer, the evening light on the right side makes the Baltic water look spectacular.

Halland & Småland Forests
Dense, deep green coniferous forests that characterize the southern Swedish interior immediately after takeoff.
Jönköping
The city at the southern tip of Lake Vättern is often visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Lake Mälaren
A complex network of bays and islands west of Stockholm, visible as the plane begins its final approach.
Gripsholm Castle
On clear days, the historic renaissance castle near Mariefred can be spotted on the shores of Lake Mälaren.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. This side offers better views of the inland 'Kingdom of Crystal' region and the sunset if flying in the late afternoon during winter months.
