Which side of the plane to sit from Kittilä Airport (Kittila) to Helsinki Vantaa Airport (Helsinki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a dynamic transition from the snowy fells of Lapland to the maritime beauty of the Gulf of Bothnia and the Helsinki archipelago.
Pallas-Yllästunturi
Spectacular views of the prominent fell chain of Western Lapland right after departure.
Gulf of Bothnia
The coastline of the Baltic Sea is visible to the west, offering a stark contrast to the inland forests.
Oulu Coastline
Look for the delta of the Oulujoki river and the urban layout of the largest city in Northern Finland.
Kvarken Archipelago
A glimpse of the unique land uplift landscape and shallow-water ridges near the city of Vaasa.
Helsinki Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the granite islands and sea fortresses protecting the entrance to the capital city.
Book a window seat on the right for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Baltic Sea. During the descent into Helsinki-Vantaa, this side usually offers a superior view of the coastal islands and the city skyline depending on the active runway and wind direction.
Boreal Forests
Vast stretches of the Finnish taiga provide a serene green or white landscape depending on the season.
Lake District Edge
As you fly south, watch the landscape transform into a complex network of thousands of small lakes.
Lahti Ski Jumps
During the descent, the distinctive ski jumping hills of Salpausselkä are often visible on the horizon.
Lapland Wilderness
Immediately after takeoff, witness the remote and rugged terrain of the Kittilä and Sodankylä regions.
For evening flights in winter, choose the left side for the best chance to spot the Aurora Borealis away from the sunset glare. During the day, watch for the intricate maze of the Finnish Lake District near the midpoint of the journey as the plane begins its gradual descent.
