Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Stockholm to Copenhagen. The takeoff view from the right side—the Stockholm archipelago—is more visually distinctive and geographically dramatic than the landing approach. The archipelago's intricate island pattern and granite geology create a memorable aerial perspective that the flat Danish landscape cannot match.

During takeoff from Arlanda (ARN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Stockholm archipelago's intricate island pattern during northbound climb-out. The water and scattered islands provide strong visual contrast and depth as you gain altitude over Mälaren lake. Notable sights include: Stockholm archipelago (Skärgården) with its characteristic granite islands, Mälaren lake to the west, Norrmalm district and city center, Baltic Sea horizon to the east.

When landing at Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats on approach to Copenhagen offer views of the Øresund Strait and the Danish coastline. You'll see the transition from open water to the flat Danish landscape, plus the distinctive Øresund Bridge if approaching from the north. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait (the water channel between Sweden and Denmark), Øresund Bridge (if visible on northbound approaches), Danish coastline near Helsingør, Kastrup airport area and surrounding flat Danish plains.

The flight from Arlanda (ARN) to Kastrup (CPH) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Baltic Sea heading south-southwest. At cruise altitude (around 25,000 feet), you'll see open water for most of the route with no major landmarks visible. The Swedish east coast (Uppland region) recedes to the left (west) shortly after takeoff. The Danish coast near Helsingør and the Øresund region becomes visible on the right (east) as you descend toward Copenhagen. The route is relatively featureless over open water—the archipelago departure and strait arrival are the primary visual highlights.
