Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Taurus Mountains during ascent and provides the most cinematic perspective of the Norwegian coastline and rugged fjords upon descent into Bergen.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Taurus Mountains

Spectacular, close-up views of the rugged, often snow-capped peaks of southern Turkey immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Carpathian Mountains

Dramatic ridges and dense, ancient forests while passing over the border regions of Romania and Poland.

🚢

Baltic Sea Entrance

Glimpses of the narrow straits and busy shipping lanes connecting the Baltic Sea to the North Sea.

❄️

Hardanger Plateau

The vast, high-altitude mountain plateau of Norway, featuring glacial remains and alpine tundra during descent.

🇳🇴

Bergen Fjords

Iconic, world-class views of the deep blue water and steep cliffs of the Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord regions.

The right side is essential for the approach into Bergen Airport Flesland. As the aircraft turns for landing, this side typically offers the most iconic views of the Norwegian archipelago and the mountainous interior. For morning flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, potentially creating glare, so keep your window shade ready.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏖️

Turkish Riviera

Aerial views of the crystal-clear turquoise waters and the winding Mediterranean coastline near Antalya.

🌾

Pannonian Basin

Vast, sweeping views of the agricultural heartland of Central Europe while transiting over Hungary.

🇩🇰

Jutland Peninsula

The distinctive patchwork fields and coastal outlines of Western Denmark and the German border.

🌊

North Sea Horizon

Endless maritime views and the distant silhouettes of offshore wind farms before the Norwegian landfall.

Choose the left side if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to witness a spectacular sunset over the North Sea. It is also the better side for viewing the Danish coast if the flight path tracks slightly westward.
