Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the rugged Norwegian coastline, the North Sea, and the transition from jagged fjords to the unique flat landscapes of Jæren.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Bergen Archipelago

A stunning maze of thousands of islands and islets immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Sunnhordland Coastline

Dramatic views of the coastline where the mountains meet the North Sea.

🏙️

Stavanger Peninsula

Clear views of the 'Oil Capital' and the surrounding islands mid-flight.

🏖️

Jæren Beaches

Norway's most famous sandy beaches, appearing as a long golden strip.

⚓

Sørlandet Arch

The approach into KRS showcases the classic southern 'Skerries' coastline.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to capture the golden hour over the North Sea. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to fully appreciate the Jæren coastline, which is a rare flat landscape in Norway. This side is particularly scenic during the descent into Kristiansand as the plane turns over the coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
❄️

Folgefonna Glacier

Visible in the distance to the east shortly after departure from Bergen.

🏔️

Hardangervidda Edge

The western fringes of Northern Europe's largest mountain plateau.

🌲

Agder Highlands

Deep forested valleys and rocky peaks as the flight moves inland toward Kristiansand.

💧

Lake Blåsjø

One of Norway's largest reservoirs nestled deep in the mountains.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is best for viewing the snow-capped interior mountains during winter and spring. Look out early as the glacier is best seen within the first 10 minutes.
