BLL → FAE
Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Vagar Airport (Vagar)?
Left Side of the Plane
While both sides offer vast ocean vistas, the left side is superior for the iconic approach into Vagar, frequently providing views of the legendary Sørvágsvatn 'lake above the ocean' and the dramatic western cliffs.

Jutland Coastline
Aerial view of the sandy beaches and dunes of Denmark's west coast shortly after departure from Billund.
Shetland Islands
On clear days, the rugged and treeless landscape of the Shetland archipelago can be seen mid-flight.
Lake Sørvágsvatn
The famous 'hanging lake' that appears to perch hundreds of feet above the Atlantic Ocean during the final approach.
Mykines Islet
The westernmost Faroe island, famous for its lighthouse and massive puffin colonies, often visible during descent.
Trælanípa Cliffs
Massive perpendicular sea cliffs where the lake meets the ocean, offering a scale-defying perspective of the islands.
Book a window seat on the left (Port) side and try to sit ahead of or behind the wing for an unobstructed view of Lake Sørvágsvatn. Morning flights provide the best natural light for photography of the Faroese cliffs. Be prepared for sudden weather changes; the view often appears only seconds after breaking through the cloud layer.

Ringkøbing Fjord
A large, shallow lagoon separated from the North Sea by a narrow sandbar, visible shortly after takeoff.
North Sea Shipping
Observation of cargo vessels and offshore infrastructure dotting the transit route between Denmark and the UK.
Northern Isles
Distant views of the steep, pyramid-shaped mountains of Kalsoy and Kunoy as the aircraft aligns for Vagar.
Vagar Villages
A bird's-eye view of the colorful houses in Sørvágur and surrounding fjords just moments before touchdown.
Atlantic Deep
Deep blue views of the North Atlantic where the shelf drops off, occasionally showing patterns of whale migration paths.
The right side is excellent for seeing the general layout of the northern Faroese archipelago if the flight path approaches from the northeast. While it misses the 'hanging lake', it often provides better views of the inland fjords and the steep basalt mountains. Keep an eye out for the 'Witch's Finger' sea stack if the pilot circles for landing.
