Which side of the plane to sit from Zadar Airport (Zadar) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the sprawling Adriatic archipelago immediately after takeoff, followed by a dramatic traversal of the highest peaks of the Julian and Austrian Alps.
Adriatic Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of the islands of Pag, Rab, and Krk characterized by their moon-like white limestone terrain.
Julian Alps
Breathtaking views of Slovenia's highest peaks, including the iconic jagged summit of Mount Triglav.
Hohe Tauern Range
Glaciated peaks and deep valleys of the central Austrian Alps, providing a high-altitude winter wonderland view year-round.
Berlin Cityscape
On clear days, the expansive urban sprawl of Germany's capital is often visible as the flight heads north.
Baltic Shoreline
The transition from the mainland to the Baltic Sea, often passing near the scenic islands of Rügen or Usedom.
Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun moves behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the Alps and the Baltic coast. Keep your camera ready 10 minutes after takeoff to capture the unique geometric patterns of the Pag island salt pans.
Velebit Mountains
A close-up view of Croatia's largest mountain range rising steeply from the Adriatic coast immediately after departure.
Zagreb Panorama
Distal views of the Croatian capital and the surrounding lush green hills of the Medvednica mountain.
Prague and Bohemia
Vast views of the Czech Republic's rolling hills and the red-roofed outskirts of Prague.
Baltic Maritime Lanes
Observation of cargo ships and ferries traversing the busy shipping lanes between Germany, Poland, and Sweden.
Södermanland Forests
The classic Swedish landscape of dense pine forests and thousands of small blue lakes during the descent into Skavsta.
Choose the right side for early morning departures to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Baltic Sea. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, look for the intricate 'Skärgård' or archipelago formations near Nyköping as the plane prepares for landing.
