Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of Norway's most dramatic inland features, including the deep Sognefjord and the jagged Sunnmøre Alps.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Sognefjorden

Crossing the mouth of the world's longest and deepest ice-free fjord shortly after departure.

❄️

Jostedalsbreen

Visible on the distant eastern horizon, this is the largest glacier on the European mainland.

⛰️

Sunnmørsalpene

Breathtaking views of jagged 1,700-meter peaks rising vertically from the deep blue fjords.

🏙️

Bergen's Seven Mountains

A stunning aerial view of the mountains surrounding the city immediately after takeoff from Flesland.

🌉

The Atlantic Road

On the final approach to Kristiansund, look for the iconic winding bridges connecting the coastal islands.

This is the premier side for mountain lovers. Try to secure a seat well clear of the wing, as many regional flights on this route use high-wing Dash-8 or low-wing CRJ aircraft. Morning flights provide the best direct illumination on the mountain faces.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

The Norwegian Sea

Expansive views of the North Atlantic horizon and the rugged outer coastline of Vestland.

🏘️

Florø Archipelago

View of Norway's westernmost town and the dense cluster of islands surrounding it.

🗺️

Stadlandet Peninsula

The mountainous finger of land that marks the transition between the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea.

🏝️

Giske and Godøya

Beautiful island formations near Ålesund with distinctive lighthouse markers and sandy beaches.

Choose this side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic. During winter nights, this side faces away from the coastal lights, offering a better chance to spot the Aurora Borealis over the open ocean.
