TRF → ARN
Which side of the plane to sit from Sandefjord Airport, Torp (Sandefjord) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more scenic departure over the Norwegian coastline and a better perspective of the Swedish lake systems and Stockholm's southern approaches.
Færder National Park
Aerial views of the iconic islands and coastal reefs at the mouth of the Oslofjord immediately after takeoff.
Lake Vänern Coast
Visible to the south, the northern reaches of the EU's largest lake provide a vast watery horizon.
Södertälje Canal
The vital waterway connecting Lake Mälaren with the Baltic Sea is often visible during the approach.
Stockholm Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the thousands of islands and the urban sprawl of Stockholm as you descend into ARN.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun is positioned to the south, illuminating the islands and lakes perfectly for photography. Pay close attention during the first 10 minutes for coastal Norwegian landmarks and the last 15 minutes for the intricate island geography surrounding Stockholm.
Oslofjord Panoramas
Broad views of the inner fjord looking north towards the Norwegian capital and the Østfold coastline.
Värmland Wilderness
Continuous stretches of deep green Swedish forests punctuated by thousands of small glacial lakes.
Uppsala Skyline
On northern approaches to Arlanda, look for the twin spires of the historic Uppsala Cathedral in the distance.
Lake Mälaren North
The complex northern shoreline and islands of Sweden's third-largest lake during the final descent.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly rewarding if the flight path tracks further north, offering better views of the deep forest landscapes of central Sweden. Watch for the transition from the rugged Norwegian terrain to the flatter, lake-dotted Swedish plains.
