Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of maritime landmarks, including the iconic white chalk cliffs of Germany, the elongated island of Öland, and the spectacular Stockholm Archipelago during the descent.
Berlin City Center
If departing towards the east, enjoy a panoramic view of the TV Tower, Museum Island, and the Reichstag.
Jasmund White Cliffs
The striking white chalk cliffs of Rügen island standing out against the deep blue of the Baltic Sea.
Bornholm Silhouette
The distant but distinct profile of the Danish island of Bornholm located in the heart of the Baltic.
Öland and Kalmar
The long, narrow island of Öland and the 6-kilometer long bridge connecting it to the Swedish mainland.
Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of over 30,000 islands and islets as the plane descends towards Stockholm.
Stockholm City
Depending on the landing direction, a stunning view of Gamla Stan (Old Town) and the Royal Palace.
The right side is essential for the iconic Stockholm Archipelago view. For the best experience, fly during the morning to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Rügen cliffs and the Swedish islands. In winter, look for the unique patterns of sea ice forming in the narrow straits between the islands.
Berlin Urban Sprawl
Clear views of the northern Berlin suburbs and the Tegeler See immediately after departure.
Mecklenburg Lakeland
A sprawling network of over a thousand lakes visible as the aircraft traverses Northern Germany.
Stralsund Harbor
The historic Hanseatic city and the Rügen Bridge connecting the mainland to Germany's largest island.
Swedish Wilderness
Dense pine and spruce forests of Småland interspersed with thousands of small, dark blue glacial lakes.
Lake Mälaren
The vast western reaches of Sweden's third-largest lake come into view during the final approach to Arlanda.
Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Baltic Sea and the Swedish interior. This side provides excellent views of the North German lake districts. Keep an eye out for the Swedish coastline near Karlskrona as you transition from sea to land.
