Which side of the plane to sit from London Gatwick Airport (London) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?

The left side offers a superior perspective of the Dutch coastline, the iconic Øresund Bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden, and the breathtaking Stockholm Archipelago during the final descent.
Search flights from LGW to ARN
Wadden Sea
View the UNESCO-listed intertidal sand and mud flats along the Dutch and German coasts.
Øresund Bridge
The massive bridge-tunnel system linking Copenhagen and Malmö is clearly visible from this side.
Copenhagen Cityscape
Aerial views of the Danish capital's historic center and modern waterfront developments.
Stockholm Archipelago
On the final approach, witness thousands of pine-covered islands and rocky islets scattered in the Baltic Sea.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Scandinavian coastline. For morning flights, the sun will be on the right side, providing excellent lighting for photos on the left. In winter, aim for flights before 2:00 PM to catch the brief daylight over the Swedish lakes.

Port of Rotterdam
See the massive scale of Europe's largest seaport and the industrial architecture of the Maasvlakte.
Hamburg & Elbe River
Catch glimpses of Germany's second-largest city and the winding path of the Elbe River.
Southern Swedish Forests
Look down upon the endless green expanses and scattered red 'stuga' cottages of Småland.
Lake Vättern
The deep blue waters of Sweden's second-largest lake often appear on the right side during mid-flight.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves toward the west, illuminating the Swedish landscape. Watch for the 'turning torso' skyscraper in Malmö shortly after crossing the Baltic Sea from Germany or Denmark.
