Our Recommendation

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

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.
