BGO → GDN
Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Norwegian coastline upon departure and a spectacular perspective of the Hel Peninsula during the approach to Gdansk.
Hardangerfjord View
Distant but impressive views of the massive fjord system and the Folgefonna glacier on a clear day.
Stavanger Cityscape
As the flight heads south, look for the coastal city of Stavanger and its intricate harbor system.
Sørlandet Coastline
The rugged, rocky coast of Southern Norway featuring thousands of tiny islands known as 'skjærgård'.
Hel Peninsula
The most iconic landmark of the flight: a 35km long, extremely narrow sand spit separating the Bay of Puck from the Baltic Sea.
Port of Gdynia
High-altitude views of the massive industrial shipping docks and the Gdynia waterfront during descent.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Hel Peninsula, which is a highlight of Polish geography. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be on the right side of the aircraft, providing perfectly lit landscapes on the left without glare.
Lindesnes Lighthouse
The southernmost point of mainland Norway, marked by its famous lighthouse and white-painted coastal houses.
Skagen & Grenen
The northern tip of Denmark where the Skagerrak and Kattegat seas meet, often showing a visible line in the water.
Bornholm Island
The isolated Danish island in the Baltic Sea, known for its round churches and rocky northern coastline.
Gdańsk Old Town
Depending on the wind direction and landing runway (usually 29), you may see the terracotta roofs of the historic Main Town.
Tricity Landscape Park
The dense forests of the Kashubian hills that surround the airport and offer a lush green backdrop for landing.
The right side is excellent for spotting the Danish coastline and the island of Bornholm. In the afternoon, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which can make photography difficult due to glare on the window. Use a polarising filter if possible.
