Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of coastal Norway and the iconic volcanic vistas of the Canary Islands.
Sotra Islands
Stark rocky archipelagos and lighthouse-dotted islets immediately visible to the west of Bergen.
Atlantic Cruising
Expansive views of the deep Atlantic and passing cargo ships navigating the major European shipping lanes.
Madeira Archipelago
Possible sightings of the lush peaks of Madeira island emerging from the ocean during the mid-Atlantic leg.
Mount Teide
The spectacular sight of Tenerife's massive volcano piercing the clouds to the west during the descent.
Gran Canaria North
Aerial views of the rugged volcanic cliffs and northern beaches of Gran Canaria during the final approach.
The right side is the prime choice for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Keep an eye out approximately 30 minutes before arrival for a clear view of Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, which serves as a landmark for the archipelago.
Bergen Fjordlands
Dramatic views of Norway's western fjords and coastal mountains during the initial climb out of Flesland.
Brittany Peninsula
Look for the westernmost tip of France as the aircraft crosses from the Channel to the Bay of Biscay.
Lisbon Estuary
Distant views of the Portuguese coastline and the mouth of the Tagus River from cruising altitude.
Sahara Dust
Visuals of the hazy African coastline and the Moroccan desert landscape appearing on the eastern horizon.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. It is also the ideal side for spotting the twinkling lights of the Iberian Peninsula and major coastal cities during night flights.
