Which side of the plane to sit from Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Lithuanian capital, the unique Curonian Spit, and a more comprehensive perspective of Stockholm's city center and Lake Mälaren during the final approach.
Minsk City View
Aerial perspective of the Belarusian capital's Soviet-era architecture and wide boulevards shortly after takeoff.
Vilnius Panorama
Visible as the flight crosses into Lithuania, offering glimpses of the Old Town and the Neris River.
Curonian Spit
The dramatic sand dune spit separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea is often visible in clear weather.
Baltic Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the deep blue Baltic Sea, occasionally spotting merchant vessels and tankers.
Stockholm Cityscape
During the descent, views of the 'Venice of the North' spread across its 14 islands.
Lake Mälaren
The vast freshwater lake system leading into Stockholm, dotted with historic estates and bridges.
Choose a seat behind the wing to capture the curvature of the Curonian Spit. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Stockholm archipelago. If landing on Runway 01, the left side provides a direct view of the city center.
Aukštaitija Lakes
The dense forests and scattered blue lakes of North-Eastern Lithuania during the initial cruise phase.
Latvian Coastline
The industrial port cities and sandy beaches near Liepāja and Ventspils as you leave the mainland.
Gotland Island
Distant views of Sweden's largest island, Gotland, and the smaller Fårö to the north.
Roslagen Archipelago
The rugged, rocky islands of northern Stockholm, featuring thousands of islets and summer cabins.
Uppland Countryside
The final approach over the agricultural plains and forests of the Uppland region surrounding Arlanda.
Ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side offers the best views of the northern archipelago islands (Roslagen) if the flight path approaches Arlanda from the east. Keep an eye out for the white sand beaches of the Latvian coast mid-flight.
