HADJKG

Which side of the plane to sit from Halmstad Airport (Halmstad) to Jönköping Airport (Joenkoeping)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the massive Lake Bolmen and a better perspective of Jönköping's urban layout and its positioning against the massive Lake Vättern during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Halmstad City Center

A bird's-eye view of the Nissan River winding through the city and the historic castle near the harbor.

💧

Lake Bolmen

One of Sweden's largest lakes, featuring 365 islands; it is a major landmark visible for much of the mid-flight.

⛰️

Taberg Hill

A prominent 'miracle' mountain made of rare iron ore, standing out significantly from the surrounding flat terrain.

🌊

Lake Vättern South Shore

The dramatic southern edge of Sweden's second-largest lake as the plane aligns for landing in Jönköping.

The right side is ideal for landmark spotting, particularly Lake Bolmen and the approach into Jönköping. Sit here during afternoon flights for beautiful sunset reflections on the numerous lakes. Look out for the Husqvarna factory complex on the descent.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Kattegat Coastline

Immediate views of the Swedish west coast and the sandy stretches of Laholm Bay upon departure.

🌲

Halland Woodland

Vast stretches of dense spruce and pine forests that characterize the transition from the coast to the highlands.

🏞️

Lake Fegen

A long, narrow lake known as a nature reserve, often visible as a silver ribbon through the trees.

Choose the left side for the best coastal views immediately after takeoff. This side is typically better for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare while photographing the dark green forest landscapes of Småland.
