Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Bodø Airport (Bodo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular inland view of the Scandinavian mountain range, deep fjords, and the massive Svartisen glacier as you cross the Arctic Circle.
Sognefjord Crossing
An incredible view over the mouth of Norway's longest and deepest fjord shortly after departing Bergen.
The Seven Sisters
The iconic 'Syv Søstre' mountain range near Sandnessjøen, featuring seven distinct peaks rising from the water.
Torghatten
The unique mountain with a natural hole through its center, visible near the town of Brønnøysund.
Svartisen Glacier
Norway's second-largest glacier, visible as a massive, glowing blue-white ice field as the plane nears the Arctic Circle.
Saltfjellet Mountains
Dramatic mountain terrain as the flight path crosses the Arctic Circle into the Nordland region.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the Svartisen glacier isn't obstructed. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting on the mountain faces. In winter, this side is ideal for spotting the aurora borealis if the flight is after dark.
Atlantic Coastline
Panoramic views of the rugged Norwegian coastline and the countless small islands that form the outer archipelago.
Sunnmøre Islands
Bird's eye perspective of the islands surrounding Ålesund and the entrance to the famous Geirangerfjord region.
North Sea Horizons
Stunning water reflections and horizon views, particularly dramatic during the long twilight hours of the northern summer.
Shipping Lanes
Spot the Hurtigruten or Havila coastal ferries navigating the intricate inner leads between the islands.
The left side is preferable during afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the mountains. As you approach Bodø, keep a sharp eye on the horizon to the north to catch the first glimpse of the 'Lofoten Wall' rising from the sea.
