Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the Swedish coastline, the transition from the rolling plains of Skåne to the dense forests, and the spectacular approach over the Stockholm Archipelago and city center.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Öresund Glimpses

Initial views of the coastline looking back toward Malmö and the bridge connecting Sweden to Denmark.

🏖️

Baltic Coastline

Dramatic views of the eastern Swedish coast where the forest meets the Baltic Sea.

🚤

Stockholm Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands and islets as the plane maneuvers for the final descent into Arlanda.

🏙️

Stockholm City

Depending on the runway in use, spectacular views of the Royal Palace, Gamla Stan, and the city's unique water-based geography.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. It is particularly rewarding during the descent into Stockholm, as it frequently offers the best views of the archipelago. Keep your camera ready as you pass Linköping for a coastal perspective.

🌾

Skåne Farmlands

Aerial view of the patchwork of yellow rapeseed and green wheat fields that define Sweden's southernmost province.

🌲

Highland Forests

The dense, deep green forests of Småland, dotted with countless small lakes and traditional red wooden cottages.

🌊

Lake Vättern

Look out for the deep blue waters and steep shores of Sweden's second-largest lake as you fly north.

🏰

Lake Mälaren

The complex network of islands and historic manor houses on the western approach to the capital.

Sit on the left for the best views of the interior's vast lake systems. For evening flights, this side offers beautiful sunset silhouettes over the inland hills and the deep blue of Lake Vättern.
