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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is preferred for its panoramic views of the Kattegat coastline during descent and the initial sweep over Lake Vättern upon departure.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Lake Vättern

Sweden's second-largest lake, offering deep blue vistas immediately after takeoff.

🌿

Store Mosse

The largest raised bog area south of Lapland, showing unique wetland textures.

🏖️

Tylösand Beach

The famous golden sands and dunes north of Halmstad, visible on final approach.

🌅

Kattegat Sea

The horizon opens up to the North Sea, providing a dramatic contrast to the inland terrain.

The right side is unbeatable for evening flights, offering a sunset view over the Kattegat. As the plane descends into HAD, watch for the shift from forest to sand dunes. The proximity to the coast means visibility is often clearer on this side compared to the misty inland forests.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Småland Highlands

Vast stretches of dense spruce and pine forests typical of the Swedish interior.

💧

Lake Bolmen

A massive lake featuring 365 islands, providing a sparkling mosaic in the landscape.

🏘️

Town of Ljungby

A clear view of this historic town situated along the Lagan river.

🏞️

Nissan River Valley

Follow the winding path of the river as it flows toward the west coast.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side offers a more intimate look at the agricultural patterns and small red cottages of rural Sweden. Keep your camera ready as you pass over Lake Bolmen for geometric island patterns.
