BGO → KRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Kristiansand Airport (Kristiansand)?
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.
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.
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.
