Which side of the plane to sit from Bodø Airport (Bodo) to Røst Airport (Røst)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic perspective of the 'Lofoten Wall' (Lofotveggen), where the dramatic granite peaks of the archipelago rise sharply from the Arctic Ocean.
Search flights from BOO to RET
Lofotveggen
The breathtaking sight of the jagged mountain chain stretching north towards Moskenesøya.
Landegode Island
A prominent mountain island with a distinct profile passed immediately after departing Bodø.
Moskenstraumen Area
Views toward one of the world's strongest tidal whirlpool systems at the southern tip of the Lofoten chain.
Arctic Midnight Sun
On summer night flights, the sun hovers over the peaks to the north, creating a golden horizon.
The right side is essential for the classic 'Lofoten from the air' photograph. For the best lighting, book a late afternoon or evening flight in the summer when the low sun illuminates the granite walls of the archipelago. Sit behind the wing on the Dash-8 aircraft to ensure the landing gear doesn't obstruct your view of Landegode.

Vestfjorden Crossing
The deep, expansive fjord that separates the Norwegian mainland from the Lofoten islands.
Mainland Skerries
A final look at the rugged coastline and small rocky islands of the Salten region near Bodø.
Storfjellet Bird Cliffs
Approaching Røst, you see the massive sea-bird colonies that host thousands of puffins and sea eagles.
Røst Harbor
The intricate network of docks and fishing vessels that define the economy of this remote outpost.
Choose the left side for better views of the steep bird sanctuaries of Vedøya and Storfjellet during the final approach. This side is also excellent for spotting whales in Vestfjorden during the winter months, and it avoids the direct glare of the sun on morning flights.
