Search flights from UME to LLA
Gulf of Bothnia
Enjoy the vast, sparkling expanse of the northernmost arm of the Baltic Sea.
Skellefteå Archipelago
A stunning collection of small islands and rocky outcrops scattered along the Västerbotten coast.
Pite-Rönnskär
Spot the historic lighthouse and small fishing village on this remote island outpost.
Frozen Sea (Winter)
During winter months, witness the sea transformed into a solid white sheet with visible ship tracks.
Luleå Archipelago
As the plane descends, view the thousands of islands that make up the Luleå coastal region.
The right side is superior for coastal photography. In winter, look for 'ice roads' connecting the islands to the mainland. During late evening flights in summer, the midnight sun creates spectacular colors over the water. Watch for the approach over Kallaxön island before landing at LLA.

Umeå Cityscape
A view of the 'City of Birches' and the Ume River winding through the urban area shortly after takeoff.
Boreal Taiga
Stretching inland, the vast Swedish forests provide a carpet of green or white depending on the season.
Skellefte River
Cross over the mouth of the Skellefte River as it meets the sea near the city of Skellefteå.
Piteå Industrial Coast
The industrial infrastructure of Piteå, including its large paper mills, is visible against the forest backdrop.
Norrland River Deltas
Observe the unique geography where multiple rivers cut through the landscape towards the coast.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly interesting for spotting the vast network of logging roads and the expansion of northern industrial cities. Keep an eye out for the Skellefteå region's distinct river valleys.
