Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Swedish coastline and the breathtaking Stockholm archipelago on the approach to Arlanda.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Blekinge Archipelago

Immediate views after takeoff of the intricate islands and bays surrounding Ronneby and Karlskrona.

🌊

The Baltic Coast

Continuous views of the rugged southeastern shoreline and the sparkling Baltic Sea.

⛴️

Kalmar Strait

Looking east towards the narrow waterway separating the mainland from the island of Öland.

🚁

Stockholm Archipelago

An incredible mosaic of thousands of islands visible during the descent into Arlanda.

🏛️

City Skyline

Depending on the runway approach, you may see the historic center of Stockholm and its many bridges.

The right side is essential for the scenic approach into Arlanda. In the morning, the sun rises over the Baltic, providing dramatic lighting. Be sure to look out about 15 minutes before landing for the best archipelago views.

Left Side Highlights
7.0
🌲

Småland Wilderness

Dense expanses of Swedish pine and spruce forests typical of the southern interior.

🚤

Göta Canal

The historic waterway crossing Sweden, often visible as a silver thread near Linköping.

🏠

Rural Hamlets

Classic Falu-red wooden houses and farming communities dotting the landscape.

Sit on this side for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the sun. It provides a more tranquil, forested view and is better for spotting inland lake systems and the Swedish countryside architecture.
