Which side of the plane to sit from Tromsø Airport, (Tromso) to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Scandinavian Mountains (Fjällen) and the rugged wilderness of Sarek and Kebnekaise shortly after takeoff.
Malangen Fjord
A stunning network of fjords and islands immediately south of Tromsø Airport.
Kebnekaise Massif
Sweden's highest mountain, featuring dramatic glaciers and sharp ridges.
Sarek National Park
Often called Europe's last wilderness, featuring deep valleys and high mountain peaks.
Taiga Forests
Vast expanses of untouched coniferous forests stretching across the Swedish interior.
Lake Mälaren
The expansive lake system surrounding Stockholm, visible as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Sit forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Norwegian coastline. In the afternoon, this side provides dramatic 'golden hour' lighting over the Swedish mountains, though be prepared for some sun glare. The transition from sharp alpine peaks to the rounded Swedish mountains is best observed here.
Lyngen Alps
Jagged, snow-capped peaks rising directly from the sea visible shortly after departure from Tromsø.
Torneträsk
One of Sweden's largest and deepest lakes, located near the Abisko National Park.
Kiruna Iron Mine
The world's largest and most modern underground iron ore mine, visible as a massive industrial scar in the landscape.
The High Coast
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its steep granite cliffs and unique post-glacial land uplift.
Uppsala Cathedral
The tallest church building in the Nordic countries, often visible during the final descent into Arlanda.
Choose this side on evening flights during winter for the best chance to see the Aurora Borealis away from the setting sun's glow. Look for the massive Torneträsk lake about 15-20 minutes into the flight to mark your entry into Sweden.
