BOOBNN

Which side of the plane to sit from Bodø Airport (Bodo) to Brønnøysund Airport (Bronnoysund)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Helgeland coast's thousands of islands and the iconic Torghatten mountain during the approach to Brønnøysund.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

Hestmannen

A distinctive mountain shaped like a horseman, marking the crossing of the Arctic Circle.

🏝️

Lovund and Træna

Iconic island peaks jutting out of the Norwegian Sea, far to the west of the main flight path.

🌊

Meløy Archipelago

A stunning labyrinth of turquoise waters and emerald islands scattered along the coastline.

🗺️

Vega Archipelago

A UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of over 6,500 islands, reefs, and skerries.

🕳️

Torghatten

The world-famous mountain with a natural hole through its center, visible during the descent into Brønnøysund.

The right side is essential for seeing the coastal islands. On the descent into Brønnøysund, look specifically for Torghatten; the 'hole' is best spotted when the aircraft banks for its final approach. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the western islands.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🧊

Svartisen Glacier

Norway's second-largest glacier, featuring stunning blue ice visible shortly after departing Bodø.

🏔️

Saltfjellet Mountains

Dramatic alpine peaks that define the rugged interior landscape of the Nordland region.

⛰️

The Seven Sisters

The legendary 'Syv Søstre' mountain range near Sandnessjøen, rising steeply from the shoreline.

⚓

Sandnessjøen Harbour

A bird's-eye view of this busy coastal hub nestled at the foot of massive mountain peaks.

Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the massive Svartisen glacier and the sharp peaks of the Seven Sisters. It is the best side for high-altitude mountain photography.
