LIN โ ARN
Which side of the plane to sit from Milano Linate Airport (Milan) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the Right Side is superior for the spectacular descent over the Stockholm Archipelago and better views of the Eastern Alpine peaks.
Dolomite Range
Jagged, limestone peaks of the Italian and Austrian Tyrol region visible shortly after takeoff.
Munich Area
Clear views of the Bavarian capital and its surrounding lush green forests.
Baltic Coastline
A long stretch of the German and Polish coast as you head north over the sea.
Stockholm Archipelago
Thousands of granite islands and forested islets during the descent into Arlanda.
Swedish Forests
The dense, deep green 'Taiga' landscape characteristic of Central Sweden.
The right side is essential for the iconic Stockholm arrival. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the 30,000+ islands in the archipelago. In winter, the low sun angle on this side creates beautiful long shadows over the snowy Alps.
Swiss Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Bernese and Glarus Alps shortly after departure.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
Bavarian Plains
Patchwork fields and historic German towns as the flight traverses Central Europe.
รresund Bridge
On clear days, the bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden is often visible during the Baltic crossing.
Mรคlaren Lake
Glittering freshwater systems near Stockholm during the final approach path.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side offers excellent views of the Swiss peaks and the western edge of the Baltic coastline. Watch for the dramatic transition where the mountains meet the southern German plains.
