HEL → BMA
Which side of the plane to sit from Helsinki Vantaa Airport (Helsinki) to Stockholm-Bromma Airport (Stockholm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is the clear winner for this short hop, providing an iconic 'aerial tour' of Stockholm's historic city center, including the Royal Palace and Gamla Stan, during the final descent into Bromma's urban runway.

Gulf of Finland
Broad views of the blue Baltic waters immediately after departing Helsinki.
Southern Archipelago
The outer fringes of the Turku and Åland island chains visible to the south.
Gamla Stan
A spectacular view of Stockholm's Old Town and the Royal Palace just before touchdown.
Södermalm
The trendy southern district of Stockholm visible during the final glide path.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the southern sun glare. This side is essential for seeing the classic Stockholm skyline if the aircraft is landing on Runway 30, which is the most frequent configuration. Keep your camera ready as the city views appear very quickly in the last 3 minutes of flight.

Finnish Coastline

Åland Islands
A bird's eye view of the autonomous archipelago's capital, Mariehamn, and its thousands of islets.
Swedish Skärgården
The dense cluster of islands forming the Swedish archipelago as you enter Swedish airspace.
Stockholm City Hall
The iconic tower of the City Hall is often visible to the right if the approach path curves from the north.
The right side is ideal for geography buffs who want to see the density of the Åland archipelago. On evening flights, this side offers beautiful sunset views over the Baltic Sea. During the winter, look for the patterns of ice breaking around the northern islands.
