ABZ โ BGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Aberdeen Dyce Airport (Aberdeen) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
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.
Aberdeenshire Sands
Glimpse the long sandy beaches stretching north from Aberdeen toward Balmedie shortly after takeoff.
North Sea Platforms
Spot massive oil and gas installations dotting the northern sector of the North Sea mid-flight.
รygarden Archipelago
Witness thousands of small islands and rocky outcrops as you approach the Norwegian coast north of Flesland.
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.
Aberdeen Harbor
A great view of the busy industrial port and the city skyline of Aberdeen immediately after departure.
Central North Sea Fields
Look south for views of various support vessels and offshore platforms in the central North Sea corridor.
Hardanger Peaks
View the snow-capped mountains and high plateaus of the Hardanger region to the southeast during arrival.
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.
