Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers the most diverse scenery, ranging from the rugged Costa Brava at takeoff to the intricate Dutch coastline and a spectacular entrance into the Norwegian fjord system during the descent.
Costa Brava
Breathtaking views of the Spanish coastline and the Mediterranean Sea immediately after takeoff.
French Alps
Distances views of the snow-capped Alpine peaks to the east while traversing French airspace.
Low Countries
Clear views of the reclaimed land (polders) and the intricate delta region of the Netherlands.
Jutland Peninsula
The western edge of Denmark and the transition from the North Sea to the Skagerrak strait.
Hardangerfjord
One of Norway's most iconic fjords, featuring deep blue waters and steep mountain walls during descent.
Bergen Cityscape
If the flight approaches from the south, you'll see the colorful houses and the Seven Mountains surrounding Bergen.
For the best experience, sit on the right side to capture the dramatic Norwegian fjords during the descent. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the French Alps and the Dutch coast. Be sure to have your camera ready about 30 minutes before landing for the most scenic fjord views.
Montserrat & Catalonia
Shortly after departure, views of the jagged Montserrat mountain range and the interior of Catalonia.
Massif Central
Cruising over the ancient volcanic landscapes and plateaus of south-central France.
Paris Basin
On clear days, the vast urban sprawl of the Paris region may be visible to the west.
Stavanger Coastline
The first glimpse of the rugged Norwegian coast, featuring the islands and inlets near Stavanger.
North Sea Islands
Scattered archipelagos along the southwestern Norwegian shore as you approach Bergen.
The left side is excellent for catching the sunset on late afternoon or evening flights. During the final approach into BGO, look for the 'Sotra' island chain. To avoid glare, choose this side for northbound morning flights as the sun will be on the right.
