BOOOSL

Which side of the plane to sit from Bodø Airport (Bodo) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the rugged Helgeland coastline, dramatic island chains, and the iconic mountains of the Norwegian coast before crossing inland.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏝️

Helgeland Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands scattered across the turquoise North Atlantic.

🏔️

Seven Sisters

The legendary mountain range near Sandnessjøen consisting of seven distinct peaks.

🕳️

Torghatten

The world-famous mountain near Brønnøysund featuring a natural tunnel through its center.

⚓

Trondheimsfjord

The deep blue waters of Norway's third longest fjord as the plane moves inland.

🗻

Jotunheimen Peaks

Distant views of the 'Home of the Giants' containing Northern Europe's highest mountains.

This is the premium side for coastal scenery. Watch closely about 20 minutes into the flight for the hole in Torghatten. Afternoon flights offer incredible golden hour views over the ocean. Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distorting your photos of the archipelago.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🧊

Svartisen Glacier

Massive ice fields of Norway's second largest glacier visible shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Saltfjellet Range

High alpine plateaus and rugged peaks marking the boundary of the Arctic Circle.

🌲

Østerdalen Forests

Expansive stretches of dense pine forests and winding river valleys in central Norway.

💧

Lake Mjøsa

Norway's largest lake providing a scenic transition during the southern descent.

Sit on the left for the best morning light on the glaciers and mountain peaks. This side is quieter for photography as the sun will be behind you during mid-day flights heading south. Look for the transition from arctic tundra to lush forest near the border of Trøndelag and Innlandet.
