Immediately after takeoff, view a dense cluster of over 1,300 islands dotting the northern Bothnian Bay.
Gulf of Bothnia
Expansive views of the brackish Baltic waters, which often freeze into stunning white patterns during winter months.
Kvarken Archipelago
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique 'De Geer' moraines formed by retreating glaciers.

Baltic Horizon
Clear, unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for capturing the soft light of the Nordic sun.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to experience the sunrise reflecting off the Baltic Sea. In mid-winter, this side is essential for viewing the dramatic sea ice formations. During the descent into Arlanda, look for the northern fringes of the Stockholm archipelago.

Swedish Taiga
Endless stretches of dense coniferous forests that characterize the Norrland landscape.
Coastal Hubs
Aerial views of northern industrial cities including Skellefteå, Umeå, and Sundsvall along the flight path.
The High Coast
The dramatic elevation changes of Höga Kusten, where the land is still rising at one of the fastest rates in the world.
Lake Landscapes
Thousands of small, mirror-like glacial lakes scattered across the forested terrain of central Sweden.
Uppland Plains
The transition from rugged forest to the flat, golden agricultural fields of Uppland during the final approach.
The right side is best for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Swedish interior. It provides a better sense of the scale of Sweden's forestry industry. Watch for the large river estuaries, such as the Ångermanälven, which are particularly impressive from this height.
