ARN → OER
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Örnsköldsvik Airport (Ornskoldsvik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The flight path tracks north along the Baltic coast, providing a front-row seat to the dramatic archipelago landscapes and the unique geological features of the High Coast.
Stockholm Archipelago
During the initial climb, the northern reaches of the 30,000-island archipelago offer a stunning mosaic of land and water.
Gävle Bay
A clear view of the industrial port and the mouth of the Dalälven river as the plane hugs the coastline.
Höga Kusten
The High Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site, features the highest land uplift in the world with dramatic red granite cliffs.
High Coast Bridge
One of Sweden's longest suspension bridges, the Högakustenbron, is often visible during the final descent into OER.
Ulvon Islands
Charming fishing villages and coastal outposts visible just before the final turn toward the airport.
The right side is significantly more scenic as it faces the Gulf of Bothnia. For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the dramatic coastline. Morning flights provide spectacular sunrises over the water, while clear winter days offer a beautiful 'blue hour' view of the frozen archipelago.
Uppsala Cathedral
Visible shortly after takeoff from Arlanda, the twin spires of Scandinavia's tallest church can often be spotted.
Vast Taiga Forests
Deep green carpets of pine and spruce characterize the Swedish interior, broken by timber industry roads.
Dellen Lakes
Two large, circular lakes formed by a massive meteorite impact approximately 89 million years ago.
Ljusnan River
A major river system winding through the Hälsingland province, frequently crossed during the mid-flight phase.
Sit on the left for softer evening light during the summer 'Golden Hour' which illuminates the inland forests. This side is also better during winter mornings to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun over the Baltic Sea.
