NYO → ZAD
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm) to Zadar Airport (Zadar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior experience, featuring a dramatic crossing of the Eastern Alps and a breathtaking descent over the turquoise waters and white limestone islands of the Adriatic Sea.
Södermanland Forests
The typical Swedish landscape of dense green forests and small blue lakes immediately after takeoff.
Bohemian Highlands
Rolling hills and historic agricultural patterns of the Czech Republic's central regions.
Eastern Alps
A stunning traverse of the Austrian and Slovenian Alps, featuring snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys.
Julian Alps
Views of Slovenia's jagged limestone peaks, including the distant Triglav massif on clear days.
Kornati Archipelago
Dozens of stark white islands scattered across the deep blue Adriatic Sea during the approach to Zadar.
Zadar Old Town
A spectacular view of the historic peninsula and its Roman/Venetian architecture as the plane lines up for landing.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Alps and the Adriatic coast. Be sure to have your camera ready 20 minutes before landing for the islands; try to get a seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Zadar archipelago.
Baltic Coastline
Aerial views of the Swedish coast and the vast Baltic Sea shortly after departing Stockholm Skavsta.
Silesian Landscape
The industrial and historic urban centers of Southern Poland and the Silesian region.
Vienna Basin
The transition from the flatlands of the Danube valley into the rising foothills of the Austrian Alps.
Velebit Range
Dramatic views of the rugged, white karst mountain peaks that divide inland Croatia from the coast.
Dinaric Karst
The unique limestone geology and deep green forests of the Croatian hinterland during descent.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the Swedish islands of Gotland and Öland in the distance shortly after takeoff. During the final approach, this side provides a view of the rugged inland mountains before the plane turns toward the runway.
