Which side of the plane to sit from Kalamata Airport (Kalamata) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior experience combining the immediate drama of the Peloponnese mountains with a world-class final approach over the Stockholm archipelago and the Baltic islands.
Mount Taygetus
Dramatic immediate views of the 2,400-meter peaks looming directly east of Kalamata Airport.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the gods is often visible to the east as the plane heads north through Greece.
Danube River
The winding blue path of the Danube as it passes through or near Budapest and the Hungarian plains.
Gotland & รland
The massive Swedish islands in the Baltic Sea, showcasing unique limestone formations and windmills.
Stockholm Archipelago
The breathtaking sight of thousands of forested islands during the final descent into Arlanda.
Sit on the right for the iconic Stockholm arrival. For the best photography of the Taygetus mountains after takeoff, ensure a window seat forward of the wing. During winter months, this side catches the soft 'blue hour' light over the Baltic Sea during afternoon arrivals.
Ionian Islands
Aerial views of Zakynthos and the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea shortly after takeoff.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of islands along the Croatian coastline, including Hvar and Braฤ.
Eastern Alps
Spectacular views of the snow-capped Julian Alps along the border of Slovenia and Austria.
Central European Cities
Potential views of the urban layouts of Prague or Berlin depending on the specific airway.
German Baltic Coast
The transition from mainland Europe to the sea near the port of Rostock or Greifswald.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the plane or on the opposite side, preventing glare while viewing the Adriatic coast. Watch for the distinct 'V' shape of Zlatni Rat beach on Braฤ island roughly 40 minutes after takeoff.
