Hardangerfjord Entrance
Aerial views of the southern entrance to one of Norway's most iconic fjords shortly after takeoff.
Sunnhordland Archipelago
A complex mosaic of thousands of small islands and rocky outcrops as the plane leaves the Norwegian coast.
North Sea Oil Fields
Visible oil and gas platforms dotting the horizon during the mid-flight crossing of the North Sea.
Dunnottar Castle
Dramatic cliffside ruins located just south of Stonehaven, often visible during the final descent into Aberdeen.
Aberdeen Harbour
A clear view of the 'Granite City' skyline and its busy international port as you align for landing.
Sit on the left (Port) side for the best chance to see the Scottish coastline's historic landmarks. On late afternoon flights, you'll avoid the direct western sun glare, and during the winter months, you might catch a sunset reflecting off the North Sea. For the best views of Dunnottar Castle, look out about 5-10 minutes before touchdown.

Øygarden Islands
The westernmost fringe of Norway, featuring bridge-connected islands and deep blue coastal waters.
Marine Traffic
Look for supply vessels and massive tankers navigating the shipping lanes between the UK and Scandinavia.
Peterhead Coastline
The prominent headland of Europe's premier white-fish port as the aircraft nears the Scottish mainland.
Coastal Golf Links
The expansive sand dunes and manicured greens of world-class golf courses located just north of the city.
The right side is excellent for spotting northern North Sea oil installations mid-flight. If the wind is blowing from the south, the plane may circle over the Balmedie beach area, providing a great view of the coastal dunes for passengers on this side. Be aware of high glare on morning flights heading southwest.
