Arlanda airport has three active runways: two of them are 2500 m long and one 3300 m long. The longest one (01L/19R) is most often used for both landings and take offs, but unfortunately that one is the furtherst from the terminal and most difficult to get to. Shots of aircraft on this runway is possible from the within the terminals (at the gates), but you have to have at least a 300mm lens and it is through glass so the quality is not overwhelming. All of the spots described bellow relate to the other two runways (01R/19L and 08/26). | Arlanda is the largest and busiest airport in Sweden with around 20 million passengers in 2012 where you can spot mostly nordic airlines (SAS, Norwegian,...), but also Ethiopian or Thai. What is most striking about spotting at this location is that it is set in beautiful natural area surrounded by forests and lakes which make it a blast just to walk around and enjoy the scenery. | ||

Arlanda seems pretty easygoing about spotters and I have not been approached once by anyone when walking around the fences and taking pictures. | |||
