Which side of the plane to sit from Jönköping Airport (Joenkoeping) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Stockholm archipelago and the city center during the approach to Arlanda, along with a great perspective of Jönköping city during takeoff.
Jönköping Waterfront
Excellent views of the city center and the southern pier area during the initial climb.
Göta Canal
Visual of the historic waterway connecting the Great Lakes to the Baltic Sea near Linköping.
Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands and islets as the plane turns for its final approach.
Stockholm City Center
Iconic views of Gamla Stan and the Royal Palace if the flight path follows the standard southern arrival.
The right side is essential for seeing the Stockholm archipelago, one of the world's most unique geographic features. For morning flights, be aware the sun will be on this side, potentially causing glare. Aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline and city.
Lake Vättern
Vast views of Sweden's second-largest lake stretching north immediately after departure.
Tiveden National Park
Dense, primeval forest landscapes and rocky terrain visible mid-flight.
Lake Hjälmaren
Aerial perspective of the wide, shallow lake situated in the heart of the Svealand region.
Lake Mälaren
Western views of Sweden's third-largest lake and its numerous forested peninsulas during descent.
Choose the left side for sunset views on evening flights as the sun dips over the inland lakes. It is also the better side for observing the deep green of the Swedish forest heartland. Watch for the northern tip of Lake Vättern roughly 10 minutes after takeoff.
