BMA → UME
Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Bromma Airport (Stockholm) to Umeå Airport (Umea)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Stockholm Archipelago upon departure and follows the rugged coastline of the High Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site, for much of the journey.
Stockholm Archipelago
Stunning views of the thousands of islands and islets stretching out into the Baltic Sea shortly after takeoff.
Bothnian Sea Coastline
The route tracks the coastline, providing views of the jagged shore, lighthouses, and coastal towns like Gävle and Söderhamn.
High Coast Bridge
The iconic Höga Kusten Bridge over the Ångermanälven river is a major landmark visible just before the descent.
Umeå River Delta
Aerial view of the Ume River winding toward the Gulf of Bothnia as the plane aligns for landing at UME.
The right side is superior for maritime scenery. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best photography conditions of the High Coast. The descent usually provides a clear view of the Norrland coastline's unique 'rebound' geology where the land rises out of the sea.
Bromma & Lake Mälaren
Immediate views of Stockholm's western suburbs and the expansive, island-dotted Lake Mälaren.
Uppsala Skyline
On clear days, the twin spires of Uppsala Cathedral are visible as the flight heads north over the Uppland plains.
Swedish Taiga
Endless stretches of dense coniferous forests and small inland lakes characteristic of the Norrland landscape.
Inland High Coast
View of the steep hills and valleys that define the inland portion of the Höga Kusten region.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking over the vast Swedish wilderness and deep forests. During late afternoon flights in winter, this side catches the last glow of the sunset over the horizon. Watch for the 'Storsjön' lake near Sandviken early in the flight.
