RNBBMA

Which side of the plane to sit from Ronneby Airport (Ronneby) to Stockholm-Bromma Airport (Stockholm)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Baltic Sea coastline, the Kalmar Strait, and the intricate Stockholm archipelago during the final approach into Bromma.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Blekinge Archipelago

Immediately after takeoff, view the scattered islands and rocky outcrops of the southern coast.

🌉

Öland Bridge

Visible in the distance, this 6km bridge connects mainland Sweden to the long, flat island of Öland.

🏰

Kalmar Castle

On clear days, the historic Renaissance castle can be spotted along the Kalmar Strait.

🌊

St Anna Archipelago

A stunning labyrinth of thousands of small islands and islets along the Östergötland coast.

🚁

Stockholm Approach

Dramatic low-altitude views of the Stockholm inner archipelago and the city skyline before landing.

The right side is the premier choice for this route. During the descent into Bromma (BMA), pilots often bank over the archipelago, providing an unmatched view of the 'Venice of the North.' Aim for a window seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline. In winter, the frozen patterns of the coastal bays are particularly mesmerizing.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Småland Forests

Dense, verdant Swedish woodlands and the undulating terrain of the southern highlands.

💧

Lake Åsnen

A large, island-filled lake near the start of the journey, known for its unique 'lake archipelago'.

🏙️

Linköping City

Aerial views of the cathedral city and the SAAB airfield, a hub of Swedish aviation history.

🚤

Göta Canal

The historic blue ribbon of Sweden connecting the great lakes to the Baltic Sea.

🏢

Södertälje

The industrial hub where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea via the Södertälje Canal.

Sit on the left if you prefer inland landscapes and technical views of industrial hubs like Linköping. For early morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the rising sun over the Baltic. Watch for the deep blue of Lake Mälaren just before the descent into Bromma, which signals the final leg of the trip.
