BOOTRD

Which side of the plane to sit from Bodø Airport (Bodo) to Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim)?

Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

Flying south along the Helgeland coast, the right side provides a front-row seat to Norway's most famous coastal landmarks, including the Seven Sisters and the hole in Torghatten.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏝️

Helgeland Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands scattered across the turquoise Norwegian Sea.

👯

The Seven Sisters

The legendary mountain range near Sandnessjøen, appearing as seven distinct peaks in a row.

🕳️

Torghatten

The famous mountain with a natural tunnel through its center, located just south of Brønnøysund.

🌍

Vega Islands

A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique cultural landscape and eider duck farming traditions.

🌋

Leka Island

Rare geological formations with distinct reddish-yellow rocks that stand out from the blue sea.

The right side is unbeatable for coastal photography. To see the hole in Torghatten, keep a sharp eye out about 20-25 minutes into the flight; the opening is visible if the plane's angle is right. Afternoon flights provide the best warm lighting on the rock faces of the Seven Sisters, making the granite glow against the ocean.

❄️

Svartisen Glacier

Witness the massive ice field of Norway's second-largest glacier shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Saltfjellet

Aerial views of the rugged mountain massif where the flight crosses the Arctic Circle.

🧊

Okstindan Peaks

The glacier-capped mountains of the Okstindan range, featuring the highest point in Northern Norway.

🌲

Børgefjell National Park

Vast, untouched wilderness areas near the border with Sweden characterized by alpine terrain.

Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Swedish border mountains. Look closely for the Okstindan glacier, which is spectacular when the snow hasn't fully covered the crevasses in late summer. This side is best for those who prefer high alpine scenery over coastal islands.
