Which side of the plane to sit from Båtsfjord Airport (Batsfjord) to Hammerfest Airport (Hammerfest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition between the Eurasian continent and the Arctic Ocean, featuring iconic cliffs and the North Cape region.
Barents Sea
The vast, deep blue expanse of the Arctic Ocean stretching toward the North Pole.
Cape Nordkinn
Kinnarodden, the northernmost point of the European mainland, characterized by steep, dark cliffs.
North Cape (Nordkapp)
The iconic 307-meter high flat-top plateau visible on the horizon of Magerøya island.
Melkøya LNG
The massive liquid natural gas plant, a glowing industrial island near Hammerfest.
Sørøya Island
Views of Norway's fourth-largest island, known for its rugged mountains and green side.
The right side is the ocean side. For the best experience, fly during the Midnight Sun (May-July) when the sun remains above the horizon to the north. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Nordkinn Peninsula for the most dramatic cliff shots.
Varanger Plateau
The high-altitude arctic tundra of Varangerhalvøya National Park with its ancient rock formations.
Inner Fjords
Deep views into the Laksefjord and Porsangerfjord, showing the intricate carving of the coastline.
Hammerfest Approach
A view of the world's northernmost town and its harbor as the plane descends.
Sit on the left during morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. This side is better for observing the seasonal migration of reindeer across the tundra plateaus in spring and autumn.
