BLL β†’ BGO

Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic transition from the flat Danish landscapes to the rugged, snow-capped peaks and deep fjords of the Norwegian coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌾

Limfjorden

A clear view of the complex system of Danish straits that separates the North Jutlandic Island from the rest of the peninsula.

πŸ”οΈ

Southern Highlands

Stunning views of the rising Norwegian terrain, featuring the southern edges of the Hardangervidda mountain plateau.

πŸ’§

Boknafjorden

The first major fjord system encountered when entering Norwegian airspace, showcasing deep blue waters and steep mountainsides.

🏘️

Stavanger Area

Aerial perspective of the oil capital of Norway and the surrounding islands and busy maritime channels.

⛰️

Folgefonna Glacier

On clear days, you may see the white expanse of Norway's third-largest glacier glinting in the distance to the northeast.

The right side is significantly better for mountain and fjord spotting. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the side, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Norwegian landscape. Keep your camera ready about 35 minutes into the flight for the first sight of the Norwegian coast.

North Sea Horizon

Atlantic Sunset

On late afternoon or evening flights, this side provides an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the North Sea.

πŸ›«

West Jutland Coast

Immediately after takeoff, see the long, sandy stretches of Denmark's western beaches before heading out to sea.

Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic. During the approach to Bergen, look down for the intricate patterns of the outer islands and the Sotra bridge during final descent.
