Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic scenery, including distant views of the Alps, the crossing of the Baltic Sea, and a high probability of seeing the beautiful Stockholm Archipelago during the descent into Arlanda.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Menorca Views

Distant views of Mallorca's sister island as you climb out over the Mediterranean.

🏔️

The Swiss Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Central Alps are visible across the horizon.

🏙️

Copenhagen & Malmö

The dual cityscapes and the architectural marvel of the Oresund Bridge connecting them.

🌉

The Oresund Bridge

The iconic 8-kilometer bridge and tunnel system spanning the strait between Denmark and Sweden.

🏝️

Stockholm Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of nearly 30,000 islands and islets visible during the final approach phase.

The right side is the clear winner for the approach into Stockholm. To see the Alps, look out early in the second hour of flight. If flying during the summer, the sun stays high and bright in the north; bring sunglasses. If landing from the south, the archipelago view is world-class.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Breathtaking views of Mallorca's rugged northern mountain range immediately after takeoff.

🍇

Rhône Valley

The lush vineyards and winding river systems of eastern France as the plane heads north.

🏰

Upper Rhine Valley

Vistas of the historic landscape between the Black Forest and the Vosges mountains.

🌊

Wadden Sea

The unique UNESCO-listed tidal flats and islands along the German and Danish coasts.

💧

Lake Vättern

Sweden's second-largest lake, often visible as a massive blue expanse surrounded by dense forest.

Sit on the left for the best views of Mallorca's coastline at departure. During mid-flight, this side is less prone to direct glare from the sun on afternoon flights heading north. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from Central European farmland to the deep green of Scandinavian forests.
