BOO → SSJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Bodø Airport (Bodo) to Sandnessjøen Airport (Stokka) (Sandnessjoen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of Norway's second-largest glacier, Svartisen, and the legendary Seven Sisters mountain range during the descent into Sandnessjøen.

Saltstraumen
Just south of Bodø, look down to see the world's strongest maelstrom where massive whirlpools form.
Svartisen Glacier
Norway's second-largest glacier covers 370 square kilometers, with ice arms reaching almost to the sea.
Glomfjellet
High mountain plateaus and deep fjords characterize the dramatic landscape of the Meløy region.
De Syv Søstre
The Seven Sisters mountain range on Alsten island, iconic peaks reaching up to 1,072 meters.
Okstindan Peaks
On clear days, the 'Roof of Northern Norway' is visible in the distance toward the Swedish border.
Sit on the left to see the mainland. The flight is very short (30-45 mins), so the transition from Svartisen to the Seven Sisters happens quickly. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the glacier. If the aircraft lands from the north, you will fly directly alongside the Seven Sisters for several minutes before touchdown.

Rødøyløva
A distinctive mountain on Rødøy island that resembles a reclining lion or sphinx rising from the water.
Helgeland Archipelago
A dizzying array of thousands of islands, islets, and reefs scattered across the emerald Norwegian Sea.
The Arctic Circle
The flight crosses the 66°33'N parallel; watch for the monument on the islet of Vikingen.
Lofoten Wall
On very clear days, the jagged blue silhouette of the Lofoten islands is visible far to the northwest.
Choose the right side for sunset flights or if you enjoy spotting remote coastal communities. This side provides the best view of the 'Hole in the Mountain' at Torghatten further south, though it is slightly out of view for most SSJ arrivals. Look for the turquoise water colors around the smaller islands which are most vivid around midday.
