Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Keflavik to Stockholm. While takeoff favors the right for Iceland's volcanic landscape, the landing view from the left—Stockholm's archipelago and city—is more visually rewarding and iconic. The left side captures the flight's geographic climax.

During takeoff from Keflavik Nas (KEF), sit on the Right side for the best views. Keflavik typically departs runway 02 (northbound) or 20 (southbound). Right seats offer views of Iceland's southwestern coast, including the dramatic Reykjanes Peninsula lava fields and the Atlantic. Left seats face inland toward less visually distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Reykjanes Peninsula (black lava fields), Atlantic Ocean to the west, Fagradalsfjall volcanic region, Keflavik town and harbor.

When landing at Arlanda (ARN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Arlanda typically uses runways 01L/01R (northbound) or 19L/19R (southbound). Left seats on approach from the southwest offer views of Stockholm's archipelago, Lake Mälaren, and the city's eastern districts. Right seats face less populated areas to the north. Notable sights include: Stockholm archipelago (Stockholms skärgård) with thousands of islands, Lake Mälaren (Mälaren), Vaxholm fortress island, Stockholm city center and Södermalm district.

The flight from Keflavik Nas (KEF) to Arlanda (ARN) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes.

The route crosses the Norwegian Sea northeastward. At cruise altitude (around 35,000 feet), the midpoint offers views of the Norwegian coast (Trøndelag and Nordland regions) if weather permits, with the Scandinavian mountain spine visible as a distant ridge on the eastern horizon. The North Sea and Skagerrak strait separate Iceland from mainland Scandinavia. No major landmarks are prominently visible at cruise altitude due to distance and typical cloud cover, but the curvature of the Earth and the vast open ocean dominate the view.
