BRE β HAU
Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Haugesund Airport (Haugesund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of urban scenery, the Danish coastline, and the rugged beauty of the Norwegian fjords during the descent into Haugesund.
Bremen and Weser River
Great views of the city center and the winding Weser river immediately after takeoff from BRE.
Elbe Estuary
The mouth of the Elbe river near Cuxhaven is clearly visible as the flight heads north.
West Jutland Coastline
The sandy beaches, lagoons, and dunes of Denmark's western coast are visible mid-flight.
Ryfylke Mountains
In the distance, the snow-capped peaks of the Norwegian interior provide a stunning backdrop during descent.
Boknafjorden
The flight crosses over this massive fjord system, revealing a landscape of deep blue water and rocky islands.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. Sit here to see the transition from the flat North German plains to the rugged Norwegian coastline. During the descent, you will see the intricate network of islands and bridges connecting the mainland to KarmΓΈy. For the best lighting, morning flights offer beautiful illumination of the Norwegian mountains to the east.
Wadden Sea National Park
Aerial views of the UNESCO-protected tidal flats and sandbanks along the German coast.
North Sea Shipping Lanes
Watch for massive container ships and tankers navigating towards the ports of Bremerhaven and Hamburg.
Western Horizon
Unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for watching the sunset on late afternoon flights.
Utsira Island
A small, remote island known for birdwatching that appears just before the final approach into Haugesund.
This side is ideal for late-day flights to capture the sun setting over the water. Keep an eye on the water surface near the German coast to see the complex patterns of the Wadden Sea mudflats, which are most visible during low tide. As you approach Norway, the lack of land on this side makes the sudden appearance of the outer skerries quite dramatic.
