Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Stockholm to Newark. Left side wins both the departure over Stockholm and Lake Mälaren and the arrival over New York Harbor with Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. The landing view on the left is particularly exceptional and one of the best urban approach views in the world.

During takeoff from Arlanda (ARN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Arlanda typically departs westbound on runway 01L/19R or uses runways oriented north-south. On a westbound departure toward the Atlantic, the left side gives you views over Lake Mälaren and Stockholm city center as the aircraft turns southwest. The archipelago and the city's waterways are clearly visible on the left during the climbing turn. Notable sights include: Lake Mälaren (large lake west of Stockholm), Stockholm city center and Gamla Stan island, Lake Vänern (Sweden's largest lake, visible to the southwest at cruise altitude entry), Öresund strait and southern Swedish coastline.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR approaches typically come in from the northeast over New York Harbor or from the north over New Jersey. On the standard ILS approach to runway 22L, the left side gives a direct view of Lower Manhattan, the Hudson River, and the Statue of Liberty as the aircraft descends over the harbor. This is one of the most iconic urban approach views in aviation. Notable sights include: Lower Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, Statue of Liberty (visible as a small but distinct figure in the harbor), Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

The flight from Arlanda (ARN) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 9 to 9.5 hours.

The flight tracks southwest over southern Sweden and Denmark, crossing the North Sea near Scotland or the Faroe Islands, then follows a great circle arc over the North Atlantic passing south of Greenland and Iceland. Mid-flight features include the Greenland ice sheet visible as a vast white expanse on the northern horizon, the Davis Strait, and Labrador coastline before crossing Quebec and descending over New England toward New York.
