Which side of the plane to sit from Åre Östersund Airport (Östersund) to Stockholm-Bromma Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of Lake Storsjön upon departure and a spectacular low-altitude approach over the Mälaren islands and Drottningholm Palace before landing at Bromma.
Lake Storsjön
Panoramic views of Sweden's fifth largest lake and Frösön island immediately after takeoff from OSD.
Scandinavian Mountains
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Jämtland mountains can be seen on the western horizon.
Lake Mälaren
A stunning transition as you fly over the intricate maze of islands that define central Sweden's landscape.
Drottningholm Palace
The Swedish Royal family's residence and UNESCO site is a highlight during the final descent into Bromma.
Stockholm Skyline
Excellent views of the city's unique architectural blend and the Södermalm district during the turn to land.
The right side is essential for the iconic Bromma approach. Try to book an afternoon flight to see the sun setting over Lake Mälaren. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the 'Great Lake' views and again 10 minutes before landing for the royal palace.
Gulf of Bothnia
Distant views of the eastern coastline and the shimmering Baltic Sea as the flight tracks south.
Hälsingland Forests
Expansive views of Sweden's deep green timberlands and scattered rural homesteads.
Uppsala Cathedral
The iconic twin spires of the historic university city are often visible during the initial descent phase.
Stockholm Archipelago
Glimpses of the inner islands and the dense network of waterways north of the capital.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Watch for the change in terrain from the rugged Norrland hills to the flatter plains of Uppland. It provides a great view of the inland lakes of Gästrikland.
