ZADNYO

Which side of the plane to sit from Zadar Airport (Zadar) to Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

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.

Right Side Highlights

⛰️

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.
