Which side of the plane to sit from Bodø Airport (Bodo) to Stokmarknes Skagen Airport (Stokmarknes)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the Lofoten Wall, a dramatic chain of granite peaks rising directly from the Arctic Ocean, followed by a close-up of the narrow Raftsundet strait.

Vestfjorden Crossing
A vast expanse of open water where you can often spot whale watching vessels and the distant silhouettes of Værøy and Røst.
Lofoten Wall
The iconic jagged mountain range stretching from south to north, creating one of the most famous skylines in Norway.
Svolvær Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the 'capital' of Lofoten, its harbor, and the famous Svolværgeita rock pinnacle.
Raftsundet Strait
The narrow, 26km long channel that separates the Lofoten islands from Vesterålen, known for its sheer cliffs.
Møysalen National Park
Views of the highest mountain in Vesterålen, often capped with snow even in late spring.
The left side is superior for the 'wow' factor of the Lofoten mountains. During summer, the Midnight Sun provides golden lighting on these peaks during late-night flights. In winter, this side faces the open sea, offering the best chance to spot the Aurora Borealis away from mainland light pollution. Choose an 'A' seat for unobstructed window views.

Bodø Cityscape
Direct views of the city's harbor and the rapid development of this Arctic hub immediately after takeoff.
Landegode Island
A massive, mountainous island just north of Bodø that serves as a landmark for pilots entering the Vestfjorden.
Steigen Coastline
Spectacular hidden beaches with turquoise water and the deep, narrow fjords of the Norwegian mainland.
Stetind Profile
On clear days, Norway's national mountain—a distinctive smooth obelisk—is visible in the distance to the east.
Hadsel Bridge
A scenic view of the cantilever bridge connecting the islands as the plane descends into Stokmarknes.
The right side is ideal for travelers who prefer mainland mountain scenery and the intricate coastal geography of Steigen. Morning flights are best on this side as the sun illuminates the eastern fjords. During the final approach to SKN, look down for the Hurtigruten ships often docked in Stokmarknes harbor, the birthplace of the coastal express.
