TLL β PJA
Which side of the plane to sit from Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (Tallinn-ulemiste International) to Pajala Airport (Pajala)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Tallinn skyline upon takeoff and a continuous perspective of the intricate Finnish archipelago and the Swedish-Finnish border river.
Tallinn Old Town
The red-roofed medieval towers and cobblestone streets of the Estonian capital right after departure.
Turku Archipelago
Thousands of small islands and skerries scattered across the Baltic Sea off the Finnish coast.
Kvarken Archipelago
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique 'De Geer' moraine ridges formed by glaciers.
Oulu Coastline
The major port city of Northern Finland and its industrial harbor area.
Muonio River
The long, winding river that serves as the natural international border between Sweden and Finland.
The right side is best for takeoff to see the Estonian coast. During the mid-flight, keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive glacial patterns in the Kvarken area. In the summer, the midnight sun will be most visible from this side on late flights.
Naissaar Island
A forested island just north of Tallinn visible shortly after the aircraft levels off.
The High Coast
The HΓΆga Kusten region in Sweden, famous for its steep granite cliffs and post-glacial rebound.
Swedish Lapland
Endless expanses of taiga forest and frozen lakes as you approach the Arctic Circle.
Pajala Town
Aerial view of the remote northern settlement during the final descent into PJA.
Sit here for views of the Swedish interior and the High Coast. If flying during the winter months on an evening flight, this side is ideal for spotting the Aurora Borealis away from the moon's glare.
