KLRBMA

Which side of the plane to sit from Kalmar Airport (Kalkmar) to Stockholm-Bromma Airport (Stockholm)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Kalmar Strait, the long island of Öland, and the dense Stockholm archipelago during the descent into Bromma.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌉

Öland Bridge

Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the 6-kilometer bridge connecting Kalmar to Öland.

🏝️

Öland Island

The long, narrow island known for its windmills and unique limestone plains (Alvaret).

🌊

Baltic Coastline

The rugged and beautiful coastline of Småland and Östergötland meeting the Baltic Sea.

🚤

Stockholm Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands and islets during the descent into Bromma.

🏰

Stockholm City Center

On the final approach, the city's historic buildings and waterways are often clearly visible.

The right side is highly recommended for its coastal views. The descent into Stockholm-Bromma is one of the most scenic in Europe; you fly low over the archipelago, providing a bird's-eye view of summer houses and boats. In winter, the frozen bays and snow-covered islands create a stark, beautiful contrast.

🌲

Småland Wilderness

Expansive views of the deep green forests and timberlands characteristic of southern Sweden.

💧

Lake Glan

A significant lake near Norrköping often visible as the flight tracks north-northeast.

🏠

Stockholm Suburbs

Views of the residential areas and parks surrounding Lake Mälaren as you approach the city.

🛫

Saab Airfield

Occasional sightings of the Linköping aviation hub where Saab aircraft are manufactured.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and to avoid direct glare. It provides a peaceful view of the Swedish interior and the numerous small lakes dotting the landscape. Watch for the transition from rural forest to the dense urban sprawl of the Stockholm metro area.
