Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Swedish mainland, providing a continuous panorama of the rugged Hälsingland coastline, inland lakes, and the city of Sundsvall immediately after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Sundsvall Bridge

A striking view of the Sundsvallsbron spanning the bay immediately after departure.

🌲

Hälsingland Forests

The dense, rolling green landscapes of Sweden's timber heartland.

🏘️

Coastal Hubs

Excellent bird's-eye views of Hudiksvall, Söderhamn, and Gävle as the plane tracks south.

🌾

Uppland Plains

The shift from rugged forest to the flat, golden agricultural fields surrounding Arlanda.

The right side is best for geography enthusiasts. Sit here to see Sundsvall city shortly after takeoff. In the late afternoon, the sun sets over the inland mountains to the west, casting a warm glow over the forests. Keep your camera ready for the lakes around Gävleborg county.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Gulf of Bothnia

Vast, open views of the deep blue Baltic Sea extending toward the horizon.

🏝️

Uppland Archipelago

A collection of small islands and rocky outcrops visible as the plane nears the Stockholm region.

⚓

Gävle Bay

The wide entrance to the port of Gävle, often dotted with cargo ships and local vessels.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Baltic Sea. During winter months, this side offers the best chance to see sea ice forming along the coastline. As you approach Arlanda, look for the intricate patterns of the northern archipelago.
