Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for its views of the rugged Norwegian coastline and the dramatic entry into the fjords north of Bergen during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
๐ŸŒŠ

Aberdeenshire Sands

Glimpse the long sandy beaches stretching north from Aberdeen toward Balmedie shortly after takeoff.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

North Sea Platforms

Spot massive oil and gas installations dotting the northern sector of the North Sea mid-flight.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

ร˜ygarden Archipelago

Witness thousands of small islands and rocky outcrops as you approach the Norwegian coast north of Flesland.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Sognefjord Distance

On very clear days, look far north to see the opening of the mouth of the Sognefjord, Norway's longest fjord.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the sudden transition from open sea to the complex, rocky network of the Norwegian archipelago. This side offers the most dramatic 'landfall' experience.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿšข

Aberdeen Harbor

A great view of the busy industrial port and the city skyline of Aberdeen immediately after departure.

โš“

Central North Sea Fields

Look south for views of various support vessels and offshore platforms in the central North Sea corridor.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Hardanger Peaks

View the snow-capped mountains and high plateaus of the Hardanger region to the southeast during arrival.

โœˆ๏ธ

Flesland Approach

See the rugged, forested terrain and inland lakes surrounding Bergen Airport as the plane banks for landing.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to get the best warm light on the Norwegian mountains. On a clear day, look toward the horizon to spot the white peaks of the Folgefonna glacier to the southeast during the descent.
