Which side of the plane to sit from Kalmar Airport (Kalkmar) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Swedish coastline, the iconic island of Öland, and the breathtaking Stockholm archipelago during the descent.
Öland Bridge
Excellent views of the 6-kilometer bridge connecting Kalmar to the island of Öland shortly after takeoff.
Borgholm Castle
The majestic ruins of this historic fortress on Öland are often visible early in the flight.
The Archipelago
The stunning mosaic of thousands of islands stretching from Västervik up to Stockholm.
Baltic Sea Traffic
Watch for large ferries and cargo ships navigating the sea lanes toward Finland and Estonia.
Stockholm Cityscape
A panoramic view of the capital's islands, including Södermalm and the City Hall, depending on the landing path.
The right side is the definitive choice for this route. Sit here for the best views of the coastline. Morning flights provide excellent sunlight hitting the islands, making the archipelago colors pop. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff for the Öland Bridge.
Småland Forests
Dense, dark green expanses of classic Swedish woodland and timber territories.
Linköping and Norrköping
Bird's-eye views of the twin cities and their industrial landscapes as you fly north.
Lake Mälaren
Glittering views of Sweden's third-largest lake and its western bays during descent.
Choose the left side for inland views and better lighting during evening flights to catch the sunset over the Småland highlands. It is generally quieter visually compared to the coast but offers a sense of Sweden's vast interior.
