AJR → LYC
Which side of the plane to sit from Arvidsjaur Airport (Arvidsjaur) to Lycksele Airport (Lycksele)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dramatic view of the unregulated Vindelälven river and the vast, untouched wilderness stretching toward the Scandinavian mountain range.

Vindelälven River
One of Sweden's four national rivers, famous for being entirely free of hydroelectric dams.
Scandinavian Mountain Horizon
On clear days, the distant, snow-capped peaks of the Swedish fjäll are visible to the west.
Reindeer Grazing Lands
Open forest patches and frozen lakes where Sami reindeer herding communities often have winter pastures.
Subarctic Sunset
During winter months, the low sun creates a long, purple and pink 'Blue Hour' over the horizon.
The right side is best for afternoon flights as the sun sets toward the west, casting long, dramatic shadows over the hilly terrain. Keep your eyes peeled for the Vindel River’s white-water rapids which remain ice-free longer than the surrounding lakes. Because this is a very short flight (approx. 20-30 mins), stay alert immediately after takeoff as the plane will fly at a relatively low, scenic altitude.

Boreal Forest Canopy
Dense, endless expanses of spruce and pine forests typical of the Västerbotten interior.
Skellefte River Basin
Bird's-eye views of the upper tributaries and wetlands that feed into the Skellefteälven system.
Falu Red Farmsteads
Small, isolated clusters of traditional Swedish red houses dotting the forest clearings.
Subarctic Mire Systems
Intricate patterns of peatlands and bogs that create striking geometric shapes in the snow.
Sit on the left if you are flying during the morning to avoid direct sun glare. Look for the small forestry roads that create a spiderweb-like network through the dense timberlands. In autumn, the mire systems turn a vibrant gold and orange.
