Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Stockholm. The left side captures the Paris departure view which is the most visually dramatic moment of the flight. The cruise over southern Scandinavia is relatively uniform boreal forest on both sides, and the Arlanda arrival on the right is scenic but subtle. The Paris skyline view on climb-out from the left is the highlight of this route.

During takeoff from Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Left side for the best views. CDG typically departs eastward on runways 26L/26R or northeastward on 09L/09R. On a northeast departure toward Stockholm, the left side gets a view back over Paris as the aircraft banks. The Seine river bends, the dense urban grid of Paris, and the La Défense business district towers are visible to the south-southwest on the left side during the climbing turn. Notable sights include: La Défense tower cluster to the southwest, Seine river bends through Paris, Stade de France near Saint-Denis, Roissy-en-France urban sprawl directly below.

When landing at Arlanda (ARN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Arlanda typically lands on runways 01L/01R or 26, with the most common approach from the south on runway 01. On a southerly approach heading north, the right side faces east and gives views over Lake Mälaren's eastern reaches, the Uppsala plain, and the archipelago edge near Stockholm. The left side faces west over forested terrain with fewer distinctive features. Notable sights include: Lake Mälaren eastern basin visible to the southeast, Uppsala city and cathedral to the north-northwest, boreal forest (taiga) carpet of Uppland, Norrtälje archipelago fringe on the distant eastern horizon.

The flight from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Arlanda (ARN) takes Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes.

The flight crosses the flat North German Plain over Germany, then the Danish straits including the Øresund (where the Øresund Bridge connecting Copenhagen and Malmö may be visible on clear days), then enters southern Sweden over Skåne's agricultural lowlands before transitioning to the boreal forest of Småland and Uppland approaching Stockholm
