Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer glimpses of Central European urban centers, the Right Side is superior for the approach into Stockholm, providing breathtaking views of the Baltic islands and the vast Stockholm Archipelago.
Moravian Hills
The picturesque landscape of eastern Czechia, known for its rolling vineyards and dense forests.
Gdańsk Bay
The historic Polish port cities and the unique, narrow Hel Peninsula stretching into the sea.
Gotland & Öland
Dramatic views of Sweden's two largest islands situated in the deep blue of the Baltic Sea.
Stockholm Archipelago
The highlight of the trip: a mosaic of over 30,000 islands and islets during the final descent.
Boreal Forests
Vast stretches of deep green pine and spruce forests that characterize the Swedish landscape.
Choose the right side for the best chance of seeing the Swedish islands of Öland and Gotland mid-flight. During the descent into Arlanda, keep your camera ready for the Stockholm Archipelago, which is most vibrant in the morning light. Seats behind the wing offer the clearest, unobstructed views of the coastline.
Prague Cityscape
View the historic architecture and the Vltava River as the plane traverses the Czech Republic.
Berlin Skyline
Spot the sprawling German capital and its distinctive TV tower in the distance to the west.
Rügen Island
The chalk cliffs and white sandy beaches of Germany's largest island near the Baltic crossing.
Southern Sweden
The lush green and yellow fields of the Scania region as you enter Swedish airspace.
Lake Mälaren
Beautiful views of the intricate waterways and islands surrounding Stockholm's western suburbs.
Sit on the left for potential views of Prague and Berlin. During afternoon flights, this side will be exposed to direct sunlight, which may cause glare. In winter, look for the stark contrast of the snow-covered plains of Poland and Sweden against the dark Baltic Sea.
