The right side captures the most visually distinctive features across the entire flight: Stockholm's archipelago during departure and the Norwegian fjord landscape and mountains during approach. While the left side offers some midpoint views of Swedish forests and lakes, the right side provides superior scenic variety and more dramatic natural features.

The aircraft climbs northwestward, and the right wing captures the intricate island patterns and waterways that define the Stockholm region. Notable sights include: Stockholm archipelago (thousands of islands and skerries), Mälaren lake to the west, Baltic Sea to the east, Uppland coastal plains.

When landing at Tromso (TOS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides views of the Norwegian fjord landscape and mountains as the aircraft descends toward Tromsø. The approach path from the south brings the dramatic Tromsø fjord system and surrounding peaks into clear view on the left side during final descent. Notable sights include: Tromsø fjord and its branching arms, Tromsøya island, Tromsø Alps (low mountain range), Balsfjord to the south.

The flight from Arlanda (ARN) to Tromso (TOS) takes Approximately 2 hours.

The flight path crosses central Sweden northward, passing over extensive boreal forest (taiga) with scattered lakes including Vänern and Vättern (visible on left side during cruise). The landscape transitions from the relatively populated Stockholm region to increasingly remote, forested terrain. As the aircraft approaches Norway, the terrain becomes more mountainous with the beginning of the Scandinavian mountain range visible. The Göta älv river valley and Swedish west coast are passed on the left side. The flight crosses into Norwegian airspace over the Kattegat/Skagerrak region before heading northeast toward Tromsø, with views of Norwegian fjords and mountains becoming increasingly prominent as altitude decreases.
