Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the stunning Swedish coastline, featuring the Gulf of Bothnia and the dramatic UNESCO-listed High Coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Gulf of Bothnia

Continuous views of the Baltic Sea coastline and the shimmering blue waters of the gulf.

🏗️

High Coast Bridge

One of Sweden's longest suspension bridges crossing the Ångermanälven river mouth.

⛰️

Höga Kusten

The world's highest coastline (isostatic rebound) featuring steep granite cliffs and deep inlets.

🏙️

Coastal Cities

Aerial views of Umeå, Örnsköldsvik, and Sundsvall as the plane tracks the shoreline south.

🏝️

Roslagen Archipelago

The northern reaches of the Stockholm archipelago with thousands of small islands during descent.

Book a seat well ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the coast. On morning flights, expect some glare from the sun over the sea; late afternoon provides the best 'golden hour' lighting on the cliffs of the High Coast. In winter, look for the contrast between the frozen sea ice and the dark forest.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🌲

Taiga Forest

Endless expanses of Swedish boreal forest and timberland characteristic of the Norrland region.

💧

River Crossings

Fly over major northern rivers including the Umeälven and Ångermanälven as they flow from the mountains.

⛪

Uppsala Skyline

On the final approach, look for the tall spires of Uppsala Cathedral, the largest church in Scandinavia.

🚜

Uppland Plains

The landscape shifts from dense forest to the flat, fertile agricultural fields of central Sweden.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the inland forests. It is generally less glare-prone than the left side during the day. During winter, look for the patterns of logging tracks and frozen inland lakes that create unique geometric shapes in the snow.
