A short flight from Sweden to Norway. Your watch stays put on arrival.
The city built on fourteen islands
Stockholm is spread across fourteen islands where Lake Malaren meets the Baltic Sea, a city defined by water, bridges, and a well-preserved medieval old town, Gamla Stan. The Arlanda Express runs nonstop from the airport into Central Station in 18 minutes, one of Europe's quicker dedicated airport rail links. Summers bring long daylight, with nearly white nights in June, while winters are dark and cold with limited daylight by December. The city's metro, ferries, and extensive bike network make a car largely unnecessary within the urban core.

The Nordic capital among the fjords
Oslo sits at the head of a long fjord, ringed by forested hills, a small and orderly Scandinavian capital with a compact center easy to cross on foot, by tram, or by a fast express train that also reaches the airport. It is expensive by almost any standard, and the surrounding forests, fjord, and winter skiing are as much a draw as the city itself. Winters are dark and cold, with very short daylight; summers bring the opposite, long bright evenings. The country's oil wealth shows in its public infrastructure.

Find out which side of the plane to sit on.
Pick your airports, set your departure time, and you're done.
We calculate the sun's position based on your flight path and departure time, then tell you which side of the plane gets direct sun and which stays shaded. No guessing, just math.
Enter your flight
Pick your departure and arrival airports and set your departure time at the departure airport. FlightSide estimates the duration and you can adjust it if you know the exact schedule.
We track the sun along your route
Your flight path is broken into hundreds of points. At each one we check where the sun is and which side of the plane it faces.
You get a recommendation
Which side of the plane to sit on, left or right, depending on whether you'd rather avoid the sun or enjoy it. The percentages and the map are there if you want to see why.

Notes from the product.
Small updates, route observations, and clearer explanations for how the app keeps evolving.
Type less, wait less, wonder more
Airport search now understands metro codes and old city names, FlightSide loads noticeably faster, and a new Feeling lucky button chooses a flight for anyone without one in mind.
A closer look at the route, not just the seat
FlightSide now shows the two cities and key details about the flight alongside the seat recommendation: confirm you picked the right airports, read the time change off two clocks, and check the return leg.
It's all about the sun (after all)
Not all sunlight reaches the side windows. FlightSide now weighs the sun’s angle to the cabin and shows twilight along the route.
