Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg) to Sundsvall-Härnösand Airport (Sundsvall)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Baltic coastline and the dramatic descent over the Sundsvall archipelago and the Gulf of Bothnia.
Gävle Harbor
A clear view of the industrial port and the mouth of the Gavleån river meeting the Baltic Sea.
Gulf of Bothnia
Expansive views of the shimmering Baltic horizon as the aircraft follows the coastline north.
Sundsvall Bridge
The massive 2,109-meter long cable-stayed bridge is a major landmark during the final approach.
Alnön Island
Commonly known as the 'Hawaii of the North,' this volcanic island is prominent just before landing.
Sundsvall Stone City
View the historic architecture of the city center and the bustling maritime traffic in the bay.
The right side is best for late afternoon or evening flights as the sun illuminates the coastline. During the descent into SDL, the aircraft often performs a turn over the water, providing a panoramic view of the Sundsvall bridge and the surrounding archipelago. Seat yourself behind the wing for the best photography angles of the coastline.
Lake Vättern
View the northern tip of Sweden's second-largest lake as the flight tracks northeast toward the interior.
Bergslagen Forests
Dense, uninterrupted canopy of the Swedish taiga, punctuated by thousands of tiny glacial lakes.
Lake Siljan
On clear days, look northwest to spot the iconic circular lake formed by a prehistoric meteor impact.
Medelpad Highlands
The transition into the rugged, hilly terrain of northern Sweden becomes visible during the descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. This side is ideal for spotting the deep wilderness of Dalarna and the inland lake systems. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct circular shape of the Siljan ring during mid-flight.
