Which side of the plane to sit from Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the massive Swedish lakes, particularly Lake Vänern, and generally provides a more panoramic view of the Stockholm city center and the Baltic archipelago upon descent into Arlanda.

Telemark Valleys
Rugged valley systems and steep hillsides of Southern Norway as the plane reaches cruising altitude.
Lake Vänern
Sweden's largest lake, appearing like an inland sea with its vast blue expanse and scattered islands.
Lake Mälaren
The intricate network of islands and waterways leading towards the Swedish capital.
Stockholm Cityscape
A stunning aerial view of Gamla Stan and the central islands during the standard southern approach pattern.
Stockholm Archipelago
The edge of the Baltic Sea, featuring thousands of tiny islands where the city meets the ocean.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. To maximize the view of Stockholm, sit behind the wing. For evening flights, you will experience a beautiful sunset over the Swedish lakes. During summer, the 'Golden Hour' lasts significantly longer, illuminating the archipelago perfectly.

Hardangervidda Plateau
A glimpse of Europe's largest high mountain plateau and its unique tundra landscape shortly after takeoff.
Jotunheimen Distant Peaks
On clear days, the highest mountains in Northern Europe are visible on the horizon to the north.
Värmland Forests
Dense, deep green Swedish wilderness stretching towards the Dalarna region as you cross the border.
Uppsala Cathedral
During the final descent into Arlanda from the north, the twin spires of the historic cathedral are often visible.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct southern glare. This side is better for spotting the rugged mountain 'spine' of Scandinavia. In winter, the low northern light creates dramatic shadows over the snowy Norwegian peaks.
