Which side of the plane to sit from Helsinki Vantaa Airport (Helsinki) to Norrköping Airport (Norrkoeping)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dense archipelagos of both Finland and Sweden, including the stunning Åland Islands and the approach over the Kolmården forests.
Helsinki Archipelago
View thousands of small islands and rocky outcrops surrounding Espoo and Kirkkonummi shortly after takeoff.
Åland Islands
A spectacular mid-flight view of the autonomous Finnish province, featuring Mariehamn and its unique red granite rocks.
Stockholm Archipelago
The plane crosses the vast network of over 30,000 islands as it enters Swedish airspace near Kapellskär.
Lake Mälaren
A glimpse of Sweden's third-largest lake and the lush greenery of the surrounding Södermanland countryside.
Kolmården Forest
The dense, deep green canopy of the Kolmården region is visible just moments before landing at Norrköping.
The right side is the 'archipelago side.' For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the Åland Islands. In winter, look for the intricate patterns of sea ice forming between the islands.
Gulf of Finland
Expansive views of the Baltic Sea waters immediately after departing Helsinki's airspace.
Estonian Horizon
On clear days, the northern coastline of Estonia and the city of Tallinn may be visible in the distance.
Oxelösund Harbor
The industrial port and intricate coastline of Södermanland appear during the initial descent phase.
Nyköping Area
Aerial perspective of the historic town of Nyköping as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
Sit here for better lighting during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the deep blue contrast of the Baltic Sea and occasional merchant shipping lanes.
