BOONVK

Which side of the plane to sit from Bodø Airport (Bodo) to Narvik Framnes Airport (Narvik)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an unparalleled view of the rugged Norwegian mainland, featuring the dramatic Sjunkhatten National Park and the iconic Stetind, Norway's national mountain.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Sjunkhatten National Park

Known as the 'Children's National Park,' this area features sharp peaks and glaciers visible shortly after departure.

🏞️

Folda Fjord

A wide, dramatic fjord crossing that showcases the immense scale of the Nordland coastline.

⛰️

Stetind Mountain

Norway's national mountain, a massive natural obelisk of smooth granite that is a highlight of the flight path.

🌲

Hamarøy Wilderness

The landscape of Hamsun's country, featuring a mix of dense forests, jagged peaks, and deep blue inland lakes.

🏘️

Narvikfjellet

As you descend into Narvik, the right side offers a close-up view of the ski resort and the city nestled at the foot of the mountain.

The right side is superior for mountain lovers. Sit here in the morning for the best light on the granite faces of Stetind. This side is also excellent for spotting the Iron Ore trains snaking through the mountains near Narvik during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Landegode Island

Immediately after takeoff from Bodø, look for this dramatic island with its distinct mountain profile rising from the sea.

🌊

Steigen Archipelago

A stunning collection of hundreds of islands and white sand beaches surrounded by crystal clear turquoise water.

🏔️

The Lofoten Wall

On clear days, the jagged silhouette of the Lofoten Islands is visible across the Vestfjorden to the west.

🚢

Vestfjorden

The vast open stretch of water connecting the mainland to Lofoten, often dotted with fishing vessels and coastal ferries.

⚓

Ofotfjorden

The deep fjord leading toward Narvik, surrounded by steep mountains that drop directly into the cold arctic waters.

Choose the left side for the best chance to see the Midnight Sun during summer months or the silhouette of the Lofoten peaks. It offers more expansive water views and the unique coastal shelf geography of Steigen.
