Which side of the plane to sit from Bodø Airport (Bodo) to Tromsø Airport, (Tromso)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides are spectacular, the right side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic mainland mountain ranges, including the Sjunkhatten National Park and the world-famous Lyngen Alps during the descent into Tromsø.
Sjunkhatten National Park
A wilderness of glacier-carved fjords and sharp peaks located just north of Bodø.
Stetind Mountain
Norway's national mountain, a unique natural obelisk of smooth granite visible in the distance.
Narvik & Ofotfjord
Deep fjords leading toward the historic iron-ore port of Narvik and the Swedish border.
Lyngen Alps
Spectacular glaciated peaks rising to 1,800 meters, which the plane passes closely during the approach.
The right side (F seats) is superior for photography of the mainland's glaciated terrain. The highlights occur mid-flight and during the final 10 minutes. In winter, the low sun hits these peaks, creating vibrant pink and orange hues. Ensure your window is clear, as the flight is short and the scenery is constant.
Landegode Island
A striking mountain island located just outside Bodø, visible immediately after takeoff.
Lofoten Wall
The iconic jagged skyline of the Lofoten archipelago stretching across the horizon to the west.
Vestfjorden
The vast open fjord separating the mainland from the islands, often showing dramatic sea patterns.
Outer Senja
View the rugged coastline of Senja island where steep cliffs drop directly into the Norwegian Sea.
Sit on the left side (A seats) for the best chance to see the Northern Lights if flying during the winter night, as you will be facing the open sea with less light pollution. During the day, the silhouette of the Lofoten Islands is most dramatic during the late afternoon 'Golden Hour'.
