Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Newark to Stockholm. Right-side seats win overall because the takeoff views of Manhattan and the Hudson River are more visually striking and iconic than the landing views. While the Stockholm archipelago is beautiful, the New York departure offers more dramatic urban-natural contrast.

The left side faces inland toward New Jersey's industrial areas. Notable sights include: Hudson River, Manhattan skyline, New Jersey Palisades, Upper New York Bay.

When landing at Skavsta (NYO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Swedish archipelago, Stockholm's islands, and Lake Mälaren during the descent into Skavsta. The approach typically comes from the southwest, making the left side ideal for seeing the water-dominated landscape. Notable sights include: Stockholm archipelago, Lake Mälaren, Sörmland forests, Baltic Sea.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean heading northeast. Notable waypoints include the Irish coast (Donegal/Mayo region), the North Atlantic open water, the Scottish Hebrides and Shetland Islands, the North Sea, and the Norwegian coast before turning southeast toward Sweden. The North Atlantic crossing offers little visual interest at cruise altitude, but the approach to Scandinavia reveals the Norwegian fjord coastline and eventually the Swedish landscape.
