Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Amsterdam to Stockholm. The right side wins overall because the takeoff view over Amsterdam and the IJmeer is the most visually dramatic moment of this short flight, and during cruise the right side also faces south toward the Danish coast and the Øresund strait as the route tracks northeast over the Baltic. The landing views are more modest on either side over forested Södermanland.

During takeoff from Schiphol (AMS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Schiphol typically departs northeast on runway 36C/36L toward Sweden, so the right side faces east over Amsterdam city center and the IJ river. You get a clear view of the urban grid, the port of Amsterdam, and the distinctive polder landscape stretching toward Utrecht. Notable sights include: Amsterdam city center and canal ring, IJ river and port of Amsterdam, polder farmland grid east of Schiphol, Almere new town on the IJmeer shore.

When landing at Skavsta (NYO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Skavsta airport sits southwest of Stockholm, and aircraft typically approach from the southwest on runway 26 or from the east on runway 08. On a southwest approach, the left side looks north toward Lake Vättern and the Swedish lake district. On an easterly approach the left side faces north over the forested Södermanland landscape with Lake Mälaren visible in the distance. Notable sights include: Lake Mälaren to the northwest, Södermanland forest and lake landscape, Nyköping town and river below, Baltic Sea coast to the southeast.

The flight from Schiphol (AMS) to Skavsta (NYO) takes Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.

The route tracks northeast from Amsterdam over the IJsselmeer, then across the southern tip of the Kattegat and into Swedish airspace over Skåne. At cruise altitude you pass over the Swedish province of Småland with its characteristic lake-dotted boreal forest, then descend over Södermanland toward Skavsta. The Øresund strait and the coast of southern Sweden are visible on the right side during the mid-flight segment.
