Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Billund Airport (Billund)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the rugged Norwegian coastline and islands upon departure, followed by the dramatic transition to the sandy beaches of the Danish west coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏝️

Bergen Archipelago

An incredible view of the thousands of small islands and skerries that protect the coast from the North Sea.

🏗️

North Sea Oil Hubs

Spot the industrial coastal infrastructure around Stavanger, the energy capital of Norway.

🏖️

Jutland West Coast

The long, continuous sandy beaches of Thy National Park and the 'Cold Hawaii' surfing region.

🌬️

Offshore Wind Farms

Vast arrays of wind turbines standing in the North Sea, showcasing Denmark's green energy commitment.

🎢

Legoland Billund

On the final approach, look for the colorful blocks and attractions of the original Legoland park.

The right side is unbeatable for evening flights, offering spectacular sunsets over the North Sea. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for the island views and the last 10 minutes for the Danish coastline. Look for the distinct change from the rocky Norwegian coast to the flat, sandy Danish dunes.

🏔️

Hardangerfjord Peaks

Stunning views of the snow-capped mountains and deep fjords of the Hardanger region shortly after takeoff.

🌲

Folgefonna Glacier

On clear days, the massive white expanse of Norway's third-largest glacier is visible to the southeast.

🏙️

Stavanger Inland

A view of the suburban sprawl and the transition into the southern Norwegian highlands.

🌊

Skagerrak Strait

The deep blue waters where the North Sea meets the Baltic, often dotted with cargo ships.

🚜

Danish Patchwork

The orderly, geometric patterns of Central Jutland's farmland as the plane descends into Billund.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the soft light hitting the Norwegian mountains. This side is better if you want to catch glimpses of the more mountainous interior of Norway before crossing the sea. Ensure your window is clean to capture the subtle textures of the Folgefonna glacier in the distance.
