Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Stockholm to Duesseldorf. While takeoff offers excellent archipelago views on the left, the landing approach provides more dramatic and sustained geography—the Rhine River, major city landmarks, and industrial landscape are all clearly visible from right seats during descent into DUS.

During takeoff from Arlanda (ARN), sit on the Left side for the best views. ARN typically departs runway 09L/27R or 09R/26L depending on wind. Westbound departures use 09L/09R, and left seats face north initially, giving views of Stockholm's archipelago and Mälaren lake as you climb. Right seats see inland forest and suburbs. Notable sights include: Stockholm archipelago (Stockholms skärgård) with thousands of islands and skerries, Lake Mälaren to the west, Drottningholm Palace area, Uppsala region to the north.

When landing at Dusseldorf (DUS), sit on the Right side for the best views. DUS typically lands runway 05L/23R or 05R/23L. Eastbound arrivals use 23L/23R, descending from the east. Right seats face south during approach and see the Rhine River valley, Düsseldorf's city center, and the industrial Ruhr region. Left seats see only flat agricultural land to the north. Notable sights include: Rhine River (Rhein) flowing north-south, Düsseldorf city center and Altstadt along the east bank, Cologne (Köln) visible 40km north along the Rhine, industrial areas of the Ruhr Valley to the southeast.

The flight from Arlanda (ARN) to Dusseldorf (DUS) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

Flight path crosses the North German Plain, passing west of Hamburg and Bremen. Notable features include the Kiel Canal area (visible from altitude as a thin line cutting through Schleswig-Holstein), extensive agricultural flatlands of Lower Saxony, and the transition into the Rhine-Ruhr industrial region. No significant mountain ranges are visible on this route—the entire corridor is characteristically flat northern European terrain with scattered lakes, forests, and river valleys.
