Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Norwegian coastline's dramatic transition from the North Sea into deep fjords, glaciers, and snow-capped mountain plateaus during the descent.
Search flights from AMS to BGO
Wadden Sea
Views of the UNESCO-listed tidal flats and West Frisian Islands during the initial climb.
Hardangervidda Plateau
Europe's largest high-mountain plateau, often covered in snow well into the summer months.
Folgefonna Glacier
One of Norway's largest glaciers, appearing as a massive white expanse among the dark mountain peaks.
Hardangerfjord
Aerial views of one of the world's longest and deepest fjords as the plane crosses into Hordaland.
Mount Ulriken
The highest of Bergen's seven mountains, visible as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Flesland.
The right side is significantly more scenic for the arrival phase. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the fjords. During winter, this side provides breathtaking views of the sun reflecting off the snowy Norwegian Alps. Sit in the front or rear of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction of the deep fjord valleys.

North Holland Coastline
Views of the Dutch dunes and the North Sea beaches shortly after takeoff from Schiphol.
Offshore Wind Farms
Aerial perspective of massive wind energy arrays located in the Dutch and British sectors of the North Sea.
Norwegian Archipelago
A beautiful view of the thousands of small islands and skerries that dot the coastline south of Bergen.
Marstein Lighthouse
The iconic lighthouse marking the entrance to the Korsfjorden, visible just before the final turn to the airport.
Choose the left side for sunset views on evening flights. While largely over water, the approach offers a great look at the rugged island chains. Seat yourself away from the wing for the clearest view of the coastline during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
