Which side of the plane to sit from Luleå Airport (Lulea) to Sundsvall-Härnösand Airport (Sundsvall)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic elevation changes of the High Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site, along with major river deltas and northern Swedish cities.
Umeå Cityscape
The 'City of Birches' is clearly visible halfway through the flight, split by the wide Ume River delta.
High Coast (Höga Kusten)
Observe the world's highest land uplift, where dramatic forested hills meet the shoreline.
Skuleskogen National Park
A vast area of ancient forest and granite hills rising sharply from the sea level.
The High Coast Bridge
A stunning view of the iconic suspension bridge spanning the Ångerman River just before the descent.
Sundsvall Valley
Views of the 'Stone City' nestled between two large hills, Södra and Norra Stadsberget, during the final approach.
The right side is essential for seeing the dramatic terrain of the High Coast. Aim for an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the mainland cliffs and bridges for the best photography conditions. Keep a close watch about 15 minutes before landing for the Högakustenbron bridge.
Luleå Archipelago
A sprawling network of over 1,300 islands visible shortly after takeoff.
Bothnian Bay
Expansive views of the northernmost part of the Baltic Sea, which appears completely frozen in winter months.
Ulvön Islands
A cluster of islands known for their historical fishing villages and scenic natural harbors near the approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. During winter, look for the white patterns of icebreaker tracks in the frozen sea ice below.
