RJKNYO

Which side of the plane to sit from Rijeka Airport (Rijeka) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more dramatic perspective of the Eastern Alps and better views of iconic Central European cities like Prague and Berlin, along with a stunning approach toward the Swedish coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Kvarner Gulf Islands

Aerial views of Krk, Cres, and the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the Northern Adriatic right after takeoff.

🏔️

The Austrian Alps

Spectacular snow-capped peaks of the High Tauern range and the rugged limestone massifs of the Eastern Alps.

🏰

Prague & Central Bohemia

The historic 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the meandering Vltava River are often visible to the west.

🏙️

Berlin Urban Area

The sprawling German capital with its distinct layout and the surrounding Brandenburg forests and lakes.

🚤

Södermanland Coast

The rugged shoreline of Sweden featuring thousands of small islands and coastal inlets during the final descent.

Choose a seat in the front or rear of the left side to avoid the wing obscuring the Alps. On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sunset over the Baltic. Morning flights offer crisp, side-lit views of the mountains.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Gorski Kotar

The 'Green Heart of Croatia,' featuring dense fir forests and the high peaks of the Dinaric Alps.

🌊

The Danube Basin

Glances of the mighty Danube River as it flows through the plains of Lower Austria and toward Slovakia.

🛶

Elbe River Valley

The winding Elbe River as it cuts through the scenic sandstone landscapes of the German-Czech border region.

🚢

Baltic Sea Traffic

Views of the vast blue Baltic Sea with cargo ships and ferries moving between Scandinavia and mainland Europe.

🏡

Nyköping Archipelago

Intricate views of the rocky Swedish islands and red-painted wooden houses near Skavsta Airport.

The right side is excellent for morning flights as the sun will be behind you or to the side, preventing glare. Keep a lookout for the island of Öland or Gotland in the distance while crossing the Baltic if the flight path is slightly eastern.
