BGO → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the English coastline and the iconic London skyline during the final approach into Heathrow.
Skerries of Vestland
Intricate views of the thousands of small islands and coastal villages immediately after departing BGO.
North Sea Oil Fields
Look for the massive engineering marvels of offshore oil and gas platforms in the middle of the North Sea.
East Anglian Shores
Crisp views of the Norfolk and Suffolk coastlines as the aircraft enters UK airspace.
Central London Skyline
The best seat for a panoramic view of The Shard, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye during the standard approach.
Wembley Stadium
Visible just before touchdown if the aircraft is routed via the northern arrival corridors.
The right side is essential for the 'London tour' effect. Most flights land facing west; if you enter the holding pattern over North London, the right side provides an unobstructed view of the city center's landmarks.
Hardangerfjord Peaks
Stunning distant views of the snow-capped mountains and deep valleys south of Bergen upon takeoff.
Stavanger Coastline
Aerial perspective of the rugged Norwegian coast and the city of Stavanger as you head out over the sea.
The North Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water, often featuring large cargo vessels and distant oil infrastructure.
Docklands and O2
If approaching from the east, catch a glimpse of the Greenwich Peninsula and the industrial beauty of East London.
Sit on the left for the best morning light during southward travel. On arrival into LHR, if the wind is from the west (standard), you may see the northern parts of the city, including the Olympic Park.
