BGOFRO

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a magnificent perspective of the Norwegian mainland, featuring the entrance to the world-famous Sognefjord and the rugged, mountainous terrain of Sunnfjord.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

Bergen Cityscape

Immediately after takeoff from BGO, see the 'Seven Mountains' and the historic Hanseatic wharf if departure is to the north.

💧

Sognefjord Mouth

Cross the entrance of Norway's longest and deepest fjord, seeing where the ocean meets the deep inland waters.

⛰️

Gulen Mountains

View the stark, rocky mountains of Gulen, historic site of the Gulating, one of Norway's first parliaments.

🚢

Mongstad Refinery

One of Europe's largest industrial sites, visible as a massive complex along the coastline north of Bergen.

❄️

Sunnfjord Alps

Approaching Florø, the skyline is dominated by the steep, often snow-capped peaks of the Sunnfjord region.

Sit behind the wing for the clearest view of the Sognefjord crossing. Morning flights provide the best illumination on the mountain faces. During winter, look for the sharp contrast between the dark fjord waters and the white snowy peaks.

🌊

Øygarden Archipelago

A chain of low-lying islands protecting the mainland from the harsh North Sea waves.

🏠

Fedje Island

The northernmost island in Hordaland, known as 'The Village in the Sea' with its iconic lighthouse.

🗺️

Solund Islands

A unique landscape of thousands of islands and skerries characterized by conglomerate rock formations.

🌅

Atlantic Horizon

Vast views of the North Sea, which can be particularly stunning during sunset flights.

Choose this side for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. It is also excellent for spotting maritime traffic and coastal lighthouse beacons in lower light conditions.
