Hardangerfjord
View the mouth of Norway's second-longest fjord, known for its stunning blue water and surrounding fruit orchards.
Folgefonna Glacier
On clear days, the white expanse of Norway's third-largest glacier is visible glinting on the eastern horizon.
Langenuen Strait
A beautiful, narrow maritime passage between the islands of Stord and Tysnesøy often filled with coastal traffic.
Leirvik Waterfront
The picturesque main town of Stord island, featuring a bustling harbor and traditional Norwegian architecture.
Ryfylke Mountains
The terrain becomes increasingly rugged as you approach Stavanger, showcasing the gateway to the Lysefjord.
Sit on the left for the best morning light as it illuminates the mountain peaks. Since the flight is exceptionally short (often under 30 minutes of cruise time), ensure your window is clear and your camera is ready immediately after the landing gear retracts. This side is particularly spectacular during winter when the peaks are snow-capped.

Karmøy Infrastructure

Solastranden Beach
One of Norway's most famous sandy beaches, located directly adjacent to the runway at Stavanger Airport.
The right side is the prime choice for sunset flights, offering golden hour views over the Atlantic. It is excellent for identifying the unique 'strandflaten' landscape—the low-lying coastal rim typical of Western Norway. Look out for the numerous lighthouses that dot the small islands along the flight path.
