LYC → AJR
Which side of the plane to sit from Lycksele Airport (Lycksele) to Arvidsjaur Airport (Arvidsjaur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Lycksele town center shortly after takeoff and provides the best perspective of the Arvidsjaur town grid and surrounding lake systems during the final descent.
Lycksele Panorama
Clear views of the town center, the Umeälven bridge, and the Lycksele Djurpark shortly after departure.
Skellefteälven Basin
Crossing the upper reaches of the Skellefte River system with its complex of marshes and streams.
Arvidsjaur Lappstaden
The historic Sami church town area is often visible as you bank toward the airport.
Arvidsjaursjön
The expansive lake system surrounding the town, providing a scenic backdrop for the landing phase.
The right side is best for photography of the towns. Since this is a very short hop, usually under 30 minutes, be ready with your camera immediately after the landing gear retracts and keep it out for the quick approach into AJR.
Upper Umeälven
Bird's-eye view of the river winding through the dense forest toward the western mountains.
Vast Boreal Forest
Undisturbed stretches of the Swedish taiga, showcasing the scale of northern timberlands.
Sorsele Horizon
On clear days, the distant peaks of the Vindelfjällen nature reserve are visible on the far horizon.
Glacial Lake Clusters
Small, scattered lakes left by retreating glaciers, particularly striking when partially frozen in spring.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights, as the sun will be positioned behind the aircraft. Keep an eye out for the remote logging roads that create intricate patterns in the dense forest canopy below.
