Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a front-row seat to the stunning Swedish coastline, the shimmering Gulf of Bothnia, and the dramatic cliffs of the High Coast UNESCO site.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Gulf of Bothnia

Expansive views of the Baltic Sea, which often features intricate ice patterns during the winter months.

🌉

Sundsvall Bridge

One of Sweden's longest bridges, spanning the bay of Sundsvall, visible about midway through the flight.

⛰️

The High Coast

The 'Höga Kusten' region, where the land rises steeply from the sea, creating dramatic cliffs and deep inlets.

🏝️

Northern Archipelagos

Clusters of small, rocky islands and coastal islets dotting the shoreline as you approach Västerbotten.

🏗️

Skellefteå Industry

As you descend, look for the coastal industrial hubs and the winding Skellefteälven river leading into the city.

The right side is superior for coastal photography. For the best lighting, morning flights offer a beautifully illuminated coastline with the sun at your back. During winter, look for the 'ice road' tracks on the frozen sea near the coast. Ensure your window is clear of frost to capture the High Coast's unique topography.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
⛪

Uppsala Cathedral

Visible shortly after takeoff from Arlanda, the twin spires of Scandinavia's tallest church dominate the skyline.

🌲

Norrland Taiga

Vast, unbroken stretches of deep green pine and spruce forests typical of the Swedish interior.

🏔️

Scandinavian Mountains

On exceptionally clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the 'Fjällen' can be seen on the western horizon.

🏡

Falu Red Cottages

Quaint rural settlements featuring the iconic Swedish deep-red wooden houses scattered throughout the landscape.

Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the vast Swedish wilderness. It is also the better side for viewing the historic layout of Uppsala's city center immediately after departure from Runway 01L or 01R. Keep an eye out for the transition from flat plains to rugged forest terrain.
