Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic Norwegian coastline and the iconic entrance to the fjords.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

North Sea Transit

Expansive views of the maritime corridor and offshore wind farms shortly after departure.

🇳🇴

The Fjord Entrance

Stunning vistas of the deep fjords carving into the Norwegian mainland near the southwest coast.

🏔️

Coastal Peaks

Jagged, snow-dusted mountains that drop sharply into the Atlantic Ocean.

✈️

Trondheim Fjord

A panoramic sweep of the fjord as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Værnes.

Choose the left side for the best views of the Norwegian coast. The transition from the North Sea to the rugged terrain of Sunnhordland is a highlight. Afternoon flights offer excellent lighting on the cliffs, but be aware of the low winter sun which can be quite bright. Seats ahead of the wing are best for unobstructed photography.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🇳🇱

Dutch Wadden Islands

A bird's eye view of the unique barrier islands like Texel and Terschelling right after takeoff.

🇩🇰

Jutland Coastline

The sweeping sandy beaches and dunes of western Denmark are often visible mid-flight.

🏔️

Interior Highlands

Views of the vast Hardangervidda plateau and the interior Scandinavian mountain range.

🌲

Trøndelag Taiga

Dense evergreen forests and winding river valleys characteristic of central Norway.

The right side is ideal for seeing the Dutch Frisian Islands shortly after leaving Amsterdam. Throughout the flight, it offers a broader perspective of the inland mountain plateaus. In the summer, this side is preferred to avoid the direct western sun glare, making it easier to spot landmarks like the Glomma river valley as you descend.
