Which side of the plane to sit from Aberdeen Dyce Airport (Aberdeen) to Kristiansund Airport (Kvernberget) (Kristiansund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Norwegian coastline, including the transition from the North Sea to the rugged fjords and snow-capped peaks of Møre og Romsdal.
Offshore Platforms
A chance to see the massive oil and gas rigs that dot the North Sea basin.
Sunnmøre Alps
Jagged, snow-covered mountain ranges appearing as you approach the Norwegian coast.
Atlantic Ocean Road
The famous scenic route with its iconic curving bridges connecting coastal islands.
Kristiansund Harbor
The picturesque city layout across the islands of Kirkelandet, Innlandet, and Nordlandet.
Norwegian Valleys
Deep green forested valleys and fjords extending inland towards Trollheimen.
This is the side for mountain lovers. As the plane descends into Kristiansund, you will see the deep blue fjords cutting into the landscape. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the Norwegian peaks, and try to spot the winding Atlantic Road near the coast.
Aberdeenshire Coast
Rugged cliffs and sandy beaches stretching north from the Don mouth.
North Sea Traffic
Frequent sightings of supply vessels and tankers servicing the energy corridor.
Smøla Islands
A sprawling archipelago of low-lying islands visible just before the final approach.
Keep an eye out for the offshore wind farms shortly after takeoff from Aberdeen. Upon arrival, the left side is better for spotting the unique flat topography of Smøla and the distant horizon where the sea meets the sky.
