Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Lycksele Airport (Lycksele)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse landscape featuring the rugged coastline of the Gulf of Bothnia and the dramatic UNESCO World Heritage High Coast before turning inland toward the Lapland wilderness.
Gulf of Bothnia
Expansive views of the Baltic Sea and the jagged archipelago that lines the eastern coast of Sweden.
Gävle Port
Aerial view of one of Sweden's oldest cities and its busy industrial port area.
The High Coast
The dramatic cliffs and rising terrain of Höga Kusten, a UNESCO site where the land continues to rise post-glaciation.
Höga Kusten Bridge
Look for the impressive suspension bridge crossing the Ångerman River, one of Sweden's longest spans.
Västerbotten Plateau
As the flight nears Lycksele, view the high-altitude wetlands and frozen lakes that define the northern plateau.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset glow reflecting off the Baltic Sea. Keep your camera ready about 25-35 minutes into the flight for the most scenic views of the High Coast's vertical cliffs.
Uppsala Skyline
Shortly after takeoff, view the historic university city featuring the Uppsala Cathedral and Uppsala Castle.
Swedish Taiga
Vast, uninterrupted stretches of boreal forest that characterize the interior of the Uppland and Gästrikland regions.
Umeälven River
On the final approach to Lycksele, watch the winding blue ribbon of the Ume River cutting through the dense pine forests.
Inland Farmsteads
Small, traditional red wooden farmhouses scattered throughout the northern Swedish countryside.
Sit on the left during morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. This side is better for travelers who prefer watching the transition from urban landscapes to the deep, serene wilderness of the Swedish interior.
