BGO → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior journey over the intricate Norwegian coastline, the islands of the North Sea, and a high probability of seeing the Paris city center on the descent into Orly.

Fjord Coastline
Breathtaking views of the rugged Norwegian archipelago and fjords immediately after takeoff from Flesland.
Frisian Islands
The unique chain of islands along the Dutch and German coasts with distinctive tidal flats and sandbars.
Benelux Hubs
Clear views of the dense urban layouts of Antwerp and Brussels as you traverse the heart of Europe.
Paris Skyline
On common approach paths to ORY, the left side often captures the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur in the distance.
Picardy Farmland
The geometric precision of the French agricultural heartland in the Hauts-de-France region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side is consistently better for geographical context, as it follows the coastline of Europe rather than looking out over the open North Sea. Watch for the change in water color as you cross from the North Sea into the shallower coastal waters of the Netherlands.

North Sea Shipping
Vast maritime views with active shipping lanes and offshore wind farms dotting the deep blue horizon.
Alabaster Coast
The white chalk cliffs of Normandy near Dieppe are often visible during the initial descent.
Palace of Versailles
Depending on the wind direction, landing at Orly often involves a low pass over the gardens and palace of Versailles.
Seine River Loops
The dramatic, winding meanders of the Seine as it snakes toward the Paris metropolitan area.
The right side is the 'wildcard' winner for the final 5 minutes of the flight. If the plane lands on Runway 07 or 25, the view of Versailles is world-class. Afternoon flights provide excellent golden-hour lighting for the French countryside, but be prepared for occasional glare when over the sea.
