Which side of the plane to sit from Falcone–Borsellino Airport (Palermo) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Sicilian coastline upon departure, followed by the spine of the Italian Apennines, the dramatic heart of the Alps, and a scenic approach over the Stockholm Archipelago.
Palermo & Mt. Pellegrino
Stunning aerial perspective of the Sicilian capital nestled between the mountains and the sea.
Tuscan Apennines
The rolling hills of central Italy and the rugged ridges of the Apennine mountain range.
Central Alps
Optimal views of the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites or the Austrian Tyrol.
Danish & Swedish Isles
Aerial views of the Baltic islands like Møn or the southern tip of Sweden near Malmö.
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking descent over thousands of granite islands and forested islets before landing.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the Stockholm Archipelago during the arrival sequence. In summer, the late evening light provides a golden glow over the Baltic Sea. During winter flights, this side catches the early sunrise or late sunset colors against the snowy Alpine peaks.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean shortly after departure from Sicily.
Western Alps
Glimpses of high-altitude Swiss peaks and glacier-carved valleys during the mid-flight transit.
German Lowlands
A patchwork of meticulously organized agricultural fields and wind farms across Northern Germany.
Kiel Canal
Possible views of the world's busiest artificial waterway connecting the North Sea and the Baltic.
Lake Vättern
Sweden's second-largest lake appearing as a massive blue shard amidst the dense southern forests.
The left side is ideal for avoiding direct glare during afternoon flights heading north. Look out for the transition from the rugged Mediterranean landscape to the flat, organized plains of Northern Europe. If the flight path veers west, you may catch the distant silhouette of the French or Swiss border peaks.
