Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Vilnius Old Town during departure and a panoramic perspective of the Stockholm city center and the southern archipelago upon descent.
Vilnius Old Town
Aerial view of the red-roofed UNESCO World Heritage site and Gediminas Tower shortly after takeoff.
Neris River Meanders
Dramatic loops of the Neris river cutting through the lush Lithuanian countryside.
Gotland Island
View of the historic Swedish island of Gotland and the medieval city of Visby in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Stockholm Cityscape
A stunning distant view of the 'Venice of the North' including the Royal Palace and Gamla Stan during the southern approach.
Southern Archipelago
The densely packed islands and ferry lanes leading into the heart of the Swedish capital.
Choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare. For evening flights, this side provides a spectacular view of the sunset over the Baltic Sea. During the final approach into Arlanda, keep your eyes peeled for the Globen Arena (Avicii Arena) in the distance.
Lithuanian Woodlands
Expansive views of the dense Aukštaitija National Park forests heading towards the coast.
Latvian Coastline
The white sandy beaches and port cities near Ventspils as the flight leaves the mainland.
Gulf of Riga
The transition from the deep blue Baltic Sea to the shallower waters of the Gulf to the north.
Saaremaa Island
The southern tip of Estonia's largest island is often visible on the northern horizon.
Northern Archipelago
The fragmented, rocky landscape of the Uppland archipelago as the plane aligns for the Arlanda runway.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and cabin heat. Look out for the Swedish town of Norrtälje and the distinct pattern of thousands of tiny granite islets (skärgården) just before landing.
