MMXORB

Which side of the plane to sit from Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe) to Örebro Airport (Orebro)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an expansive view of Lake Vättern's western coastline and the deep green expanses of the Tiveden wilderness as you move north.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌉

Oresund Vista

Distant views of the bridge to Denmark during the initial climb out of Sturup.

🌾

Scanian Farmlands

The geometric patchwork of Sweden's most fertile agricultural region stretching to the horizon.

💧

Lake Vättern

The deep blue waters of Sweden's second largest lake dominate the view for much of the mid-flight.

🏰

Karlsborg Fortress

A massive historic limestone fortress visible on the western shore of the lake.

🌲

Tiveden Forest

Dense, hilly primeval forests and rocky terrain as the plane descends toward Orebro.

Sit here for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side offers the clearest views of the dramatic Västgöta coastline and the deep blue clarity of Lake Vättern. In winter, the frozen edges of the smaller inland lakes create stunning white patterns against the dark pines.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Jönköping

The city at the southern tip of Lake Vättern, often visible as a major landmark shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Småland Highlands

The high plateau of Småland with its characteristic rolling hills and scattered red cottages.

🏝️

Visingsö Island

The long, narrow island in the middle of Lake Vättern, famous for its history and oak forests.

🛶

Lake Hjälmaren

Sweden's fourth largest lake comes into view on the final approach into Orebro Airport.

🏭

Motala

The cradle of Swedish industry and the Göta Canal entrance are visible on the eastern shore.

Ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm sunset glow over the Småland plateau. Keep an eye out for the historic steamships that often leave white wakes on the lake surface during summer months. This side provides a better view of the final approach over the plains surrounding Orebro.
