AALSVG

Which side of the plane to sit from Aalborg Airport (Aalborg) to Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the flat landscapes of Denmark to the rugged, fjord-carved coastline of Norway and the Ryfylke mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Aalborg Cityscape

A clear view of the city, its harbor, and the bridges connecting the two sides of the Limfjord.

🏖️

Jammerbugt

The long, sweeping sandy beaches of northwestern Denmark fading into the distance.

🏔️

Ryfylke Fjords

Deep, dramatic glacial inlets and steep mountains as the flight enters Norwegian airspace.

🏝️

Norwegian Skerries

A stunning maze of thousands of small granite islands and islets surrounding Stavanger Airport.

Ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the Norwegian coast. As the plane descends into Stavanger, the right side often gets a spectacular view of the mountains and the entrance to the Lysefjord area. Keep an eye out for the distinct change from flat Danish fields to rugged Norwegian rock.

🛶

Limfjorden

The beautiful sound that separates the North Jutlandic Island from the rest of the peninsula.

🌊

North Sea Expanse

Vast views of the Skagerrak, where the North Sea meets the Baltic waters.

🌬️

Offshore Wind Farms

Massive clusters of wind turbines visible in the waters between Denmark and Norway.

⚓

Stavanger Coastline

The southern approach to Rogaland, featuring rocky shores and small fishing villages.

Best in the late afternoon to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the intricate waterway patterns of the Limfjord shortly after takeoff. In clear weather, you can see the white-capped waves of the Skagerrak throughout the flight.
