Which side of the plane to sit from Andøya Airport (Andoya) to Bodø Airport (Bodo)?

Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unrivaled perspective of the iconic Lofoten Wall, featuring dramatic alpine peaks rising directly from the Norwegian Sea and the world-famous archipelago layout.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🐧

Bleiksøya

A distinctive cone-shaped bird island home to thousands of puffins, visible shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Lofotveggen

The 'Lofoten Wall', a continuous line of granite peaks stretching nearly 100 miles into the sea.

🚤

Trollfjorden

The extremely narrow and famous fjord entrance located between the islands of Hinnøya and Austvågøya.

🏘️

Svolvær

The picturesque capital of Lofoten, easily identifiable by the Svolværgeita rock formation.

⚽

Henningsvær

The iconic fishing village spread across several islands, featuring its world-famous seaside football pitch.

🏝️

Landegode

The majestic island with its steep cliffs that guards the entrance to Bodø harbor.

The right side is essential for seeing the Lofoten archipelago. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat blur. In winter, this side faces the sunset, offering incredible pink and orange hues over the peaks.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Andfjorden

Deep blue waters separating Andøya from the rugged island of Senja to the northeast.

🏔️

Møysalen National Park

The jagged peaks of Hinnøya, including Møysalen, which is the highest mountain in Vesterålen.

📐

Stetind

Visible in the distance to the southeast, Norway's national mountain is a unique natural obelisk.

🏝️

Steigen Archipelago

A stunning landscape of white sandy beaches and hundreds of small islands along the mainland coast.

❄️

Blåmannsisen Glacier

On clear days, one of Norway's largest glaciers can be spotted far inland toward the Swedish border.

Sit on the left for better views of the mainland fjords and the midnight sun if flying north during summer nights. It also offers a better angle for the final approach into Bodø over the city center.
