Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides are spectacular, the right side offers an unrivaled view of the jagged Lyngen Alps and a superior angle of Tromsø city and its island geography during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🌊

Gulf of Bothnia

Early in the flight, catch glimpses of the northern Baltic coastline and the High Coast archipelago.

🏗️

Kiruna Town

The massive industrial footprint of the world's largest underground iron ore mine is often visible from high altitude.

❄️

Lyngen Alps

Spectacular, razor-sharp peaks rising over 1,800 meters directly from the turquoise waters of the fjords.

🏘️

Tromsøya Island

A perfect aerial view of the city of Tromsø, the Arctic Cathedral, and the bridge connecting the island to the mainland.

The right side is essential for the approach into Tromsø. As the plane descends over the Lyngen Alps, the proximity to the jagged peaks is breathtaking. For the best photography, choose a seat well forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting the mountain views.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Swedish Lapland

Vast expanses of the taiga forest and the intricate patterns of the winding northern Swedish river systems.

🏔️

Kebnekaise Massif

Views of Sweden's highest mountain peak and the surrounding glaciers of the Scandes range.

🏞️

Lake Torneträsk

One of Sweden's largest and deepest lakes, located near Abisko, known for its crystal clear water and the iconic Lapporten valley.

🌊

Ofotfjord

As you cross into Norway, the landscape drops dramatically into deep, narrow fjords leading toward Narvik.

Sit on the left if you are flying during a winter sunset to catch the Alpenglow on the Swedish mountain peaks. In winter, this side is also excellent for spotting the Aurora Borealis away from the moon's glare if flying north at night.
