PUYARN

Which side of the plane to sit from Pula Airport (Pula) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled panorama of the Julian and Austrian Alps shortly after takeoff, followed by a dramatic crossing of the Baltic coastline near the German-Polish border.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Istrian Peninsula

Aerial view of Pula's Roman amphitheater and the emerald Brijuni Islands immediately after departure.

🏔️

Julian Alps

Dramatic limestone peaks of Slovenia, including Mount Triglav, visible as the aircraft gains cruising altitude.

❄️

High Tauern Range

Breathtaking views of Austria's highest glaciated peaks and the snow-capped Grossglockner massif.

🏙️

Berlin & Brandenburg

On clear days, the sprawl of the German capital and the Müggelsee lake system appear to the west.

🏖️

Rügen Island

The white chalk cliffs and sandy beaches of Germany's largest island as the flight departs mainland Europe.

🏝️

Stockholm Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of thousands of pine-covered islands during the final descent into Arlanda.

Sit in front of the wing to capture the Alpine peaks without engine heat distortion. For evening flights, the left side enjoys a prolonged sunset over the Baltic Sea. During winter, look for the contrast between the dark sea and the snow-covered Swedish coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🛥️

Kvarner Gulf

Views of the sprawling islands of Krk and Cres set against the deep blue of the northern Adriatic.

⛰️

Karawanks Range

The rugged mountain border between Slovenia and Austria, providing sharp topographic relief.

🏰

Vienna Basin

The distant outskirts of Vienna and the winding path of the Danube River flowing eastward.

⛪

Prague

The historic 'City of a Hundred Spires' is frequently visible during the transit of Czech airspace.

🚢

Gotland & Öland

In the distance to the east, the large Swedish islands can be spotted over the Baltic waters.

🇸🇪

Södermanland Coast

The rocky eastern shores of mainland Sweden as the flight enters the Stockholm approach corridor.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Adriatic islands. If the aircraft lands on Runway 19L at Arlanda, this side often offers a superior view of the Stockholm city center and the iconic City Hall in the distance.
