Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks on this route, including the unique Hel Peninsula and the stunning Swedish archipelago during the descent.
Vistula River Meanders
The winding path of Poland's longest river as it flows north toward the sea.
Hel Peninsula
A spectacular 35km long sandbar that separates the Bay of Puck from the open Baltic Sea.
Tri-City Coastal Area
Views of the major port cities of Gdańsk, Sopot, and Gdynia along the northern coast.
Öland Island
The long, thin Swedish island known for its windmills and the Öland Bridge.
Swedish Archipelago
The highlight of the flight: thousands of small rocky islands scattered along the Swedish coast near Nyköping.
The right side is highly recommended for afternoon flights to avoid glare. The key moment is the transition from the Baltic Sea to the Swedish mainland; have your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the archipelago. Seasonal tip: in winter, the frozen coastal inlets create stunning white patterns against the dark sea.
Kraków Old Town
Aerial view of the Wawel Castle and the historic Main Market Square shortly after takeoff.
Upper Silesian Region
A look at the industrial heartland of Poland with its distinctive landscape of mines and factories.
Wielkopolska Forests
Dense green forest patches and agricultural mosaics of Western Poland.
West Pomeranian Coast
Views of the western edge of the Polish coastline meeting the Baltic Sea.
Södermanland Fields
The patchwork of Swedish agricultural land and forests as the plane approaches Skavsta.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side offers better views of the inland Polish landscape. Watch for the Sudetes mountains in the far distance to the southwest if the sky is exceptionally clear during the first 20 minutes of flight.
