Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more scenic approach into the Norwegian fjords and captures the bustling coastal regions of the Benelux and France.

Right Side Highlights
8.5

Boknafjorden

One of Norway's largest and most beautiful fjords, signaling your arrival.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Ryfylke Mountains

The dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the Norwegian interior visible during the turn to HAU.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the European mainland. Watch for the change in geography from the arid Spanish landscape to the dense forests of France and finally the watery maze of the Dutch coast. The arrival into Haugesund on this side often features spectacular views of the fjord system and the entrance to the inner mountains.
