STN → NYO
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Frisian Island chain and the picturesque descent over the Swedish archipelago and Södermanland lake district.
Wadden Sea Islands
A stunning chain of tidal islands stretching from the Netherlands across the German Bight.
Great Belt Bridge
If the flight path crosses central Denmark, this massive suspension bridge connecting Funen and Zealand is a major landmark.
Södermanland Forests
The characteristic Swedish landscape of dense pine forests broken by thousands of small, mirror-like lakes.
Skavsta Archipelago
The final approach offers views of the rugged Baltic coastline and the rocky islands near Nyköping.
This side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Swedish landscape. Watch closely during the final 15 minutes of flight for the intricate island patterns near the airport.
East Anglian Coast
Clear views of the Norfolk Broads and the distinctive coastline of Great Yarmouth shortly after takeoff.
North Sea Wind Farms
Aerial perspective of massive offshore wind installations like Horns Rev dotting the shallow waters.
West Jutland Coast
The long, white sandy beaches of Denmark's western edge stretching toward the horizon.
Lake Vättern
On clear days, the southern tip of Sweden's second-largest lake is visible as you cross into Scandinavia.
Choose this side for early morning flights to avoid the sun's glare. It provides better views of the expansive North Sea wind farms and the initial UK coastal departure.
