Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Åland archipelago and the dramatic entry into Trondheim via the Trondheimsfjord, featuring rugged coastline and snow-capped peaks.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Gulf of Finland

Expansive views of the maritime corridor with distant glimpses of the Finnish southern coast.

⚓

Åland Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of thousands of granite islands and skerries scattered across the sea between Sweden and Finland.

🐚

The High Coast

Views of Sweden's Höga Kusten, a UNESCO site where the land is still rising rapidly after the last ice age.

🏔️

Sylan Mountains

Sharp, jagged peaks on the border of Trøndelag, providing a dramatic backdrop during the descent phase.

🏞️

Trondheimsfjord

The final approach provides a panoramic view of the deep blue fjord and the surrounding green valleys of Værnes.

The right side is essential for the scenic approach into Trondheim. Most flight paths into TRD involve a northern turn over the fjord, giving passengers on this side a front-row seat to the Norwegian mountain landscape. In winter, keep your eyes peeled for the Aurora Borealis if flying on a late evening schedule.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏰

Tallinn Old Town

Immediate views of the medieval spires and the urban layout of Tallinn shortly after takeoff from TLL.

🏝️

Estonian Islands

Bird's-eye view of the northern tips of Vormsi and Hiiumaa as the flight crosses into the Baltic Sea.

🌲

Swedish Heartlands

Endless expanses of the dense Dalarna forests and numerous small glacial lakes throughout central Sweden.

🛶

Lake Siljan

A distinct circular lake formed by a prehistoric meteor impact, visible in the heart of the Swedish landscape.

⛰️

Scandes Border Range

The southern edges of the Scandinavian Mountains appearing as the flight enters Norwegian airspace.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm 'golden hour' glow over the Swedish lakes. This side is also better for spotting the Estonian coastline during departure. During winter months, this side offers the best chance to see the low sun reflecting off the Baltic ice floes.
