Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of major European cities and the iconic engineering marvel of the Øresund Bridge. As you approach Stockholm, this side typically provides a panoramic view of the Swedish capital and its extensive archipelago.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⚓

Hamburg Port

One of Europe's largest ports and the Elbe river winding through Northern Germany.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

The stunning bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmö, Sweden.

🚜

Skåne Farmlands

The vibrant yellow rapeseed fields and patchwork quilts of Southern Sweden's agriculture.

🏰

Stockholm Center

Aerial view of Gamla Stan (Old Town) and the Royal Palace during the northern approach.

🏝️

Stockholm Archipelago

A breathtaking view of some of the 30,000 islands scattered in the Baltic Sea.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Sit here to see the Øresund Bridge, which is a highlight of Northern European aviation. For the best view of Stockholm's city center, hope for a southerly landing on Runway 19R or 19L. Morning flights offer the best illumination of the Baltic coastline.

🇫🇷

Picardy Plains

Vast agricultural landscapes of Northern France immediately after departure from Orly.

🇧🇪

Brussels Skyline

Clear views of the Belgian capital's dense urban center and the Atomium.

🌊

Wadden Sea

The unique tidal flats and barrier islands along the Dutch and German coastlines.

🇩🇰

Jutland Peninsula

The western coast of Denmark meeting the North Sea.

💧

Lake Vättern

Sweden's deep, finger-shaped lake visible during the descent phase.

The left side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the sunset over the North Sea. Look out for the massive offshore wind farms near the Dutch coast. On approach to Arlanda, you will see the dense pine forests that characterize the Swedish interior.
