Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a premier view of the Danish coastline and the magnificent Oresund Bridge during the final approach into Sweden.
East Anglian Countryside
Aerial views of the patchwork fields and rural villages of Essex and Suffolk shortly after takeoff.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind installations like London Array appearing as tiny white dots in the blue water.
Zealand Coastline
The picturesque eastern coast of Denmark as the plane transits towards the Baltic Sea.
Oresund Bridge
The iconic bridge-tunnel system connecting Copenhagen and Malmö, visible just before landing.
Copenhagen Skyline
A distant but clear view of the Danish capital's unique blend of historic spires and modern towers.
Book an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. On clear evening flights, the sunset over the North Sea is spectacular. The Oresund Bridge is best seen approximately 10-15 minutes before touchdown; keep your camera ready as the descent happens quickly.
Thames Estuary
A view of the busy shipping lanes and the industrial landscape of the eastern Thames mouth.
Frisian Islands
A chain of sandy barrier islands along the Dutch and German coasts visible on a clear day.
German Bight
The southeastern bight of the North Sea, often filled with large cargo vessels and tankers.
Scania Plains
The fertile, rolling agricultural landscape of southern Sweden as you descend into Sturup.
Turning Torso
The famous twisted skyscraper in Malmö can sometimes be spotted in the distance during the approach.
Choose a 'F' seat for the best light during morning flights. While you miss the bridge, you get a broader view of the Swedish Scania region's landscape. Watch for the Frisian Islands about midway through the flight if the path takes a southern route over the sea.
