Which side of the plane to sit from Visby Airport (Visby) to Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the iconic island of Öland, the historic city of Kalmar, and the impressive Öland Bridge, providing much more geographic variety than the open sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌾

Öland Island

The long, flat silhouette of Öland with its unique agricultural landscape and historic windmills.

🌉

Öland Bridge

Clear view of the 6-kilometer long bridge connecting the island of Öland to the Swedish mainland at Kalmar.

🏰

Kalmar Castle

The majestic Renaissance castle situated right on the water's edge in Kalmarsund.

🌲

Småland Forests

Dense Swedish woodlands interspersed with glittering blue lakes as you cross into the mainland.

🚜

Skåne Plains

The rich, patchwork agricultural fields of southern Sweden that create a colorful quilt-like pattern during approach.

The right side is highly recommended for sightseeing. Look out approximately 10 to 15 minutes after takeoff to see the entire length of Öland. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Kalmar coastline, as the sun will be behind you.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏰

Visby Medieval Walls

Aerial view of the UNESCO World Heritage site and its distinct limestone fortifications immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Stora Karlsö

A glimpse of the nature reserve island known for its steep cliffs and abundant birdlife off the Gotland coast.

⚓

Karlskrona Archipelago

The naval city and its surrounding cluster of islands visible as the flight crosses the Baltic towards the mainland.

🏖️

Ystad Coastline

The beautiful white sand beaches of southern Skåne appearing as the aircraft begins its final descent.

Sit on the left for the best parting view of Visby. This side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, making it better for spotting ships in the Baltic Sea.
