Which side of the plane to sit from Chania International Airport (Chania) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic Adriatic coastline and the iconic approach into the Norwegian fjords.
Cretan Coastline
Immediate views of the turquoise waters and rugged cliffs of the Akrotiri Peninsula upon departure.
Dinaric Alps
Striking views of the limestone peaks stretching across Montenegro and Croatia.
Austrian Alps
Aerial perspective of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Alps.
Jutland Peninsula
The flat, windswept western coast of Denmark and the North Sea shoreline.
Hardangerfjord
Stunning descent over the deep blue fjords and steep mountains of Western Norway.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. The final 30 minutes offer the most dramatic scenery as you enter Norwegian airspace. On afternoon flights, use a lens hood to minimize glare from the sun on this side.
Mainland Greece
Distant views of the historic Pindus mountain range and the northern Aegean.
Central European Cities
Depending on the specific airway, clear views of the urban layouts of Prague or Berlin.
The Great Belt
The massive bridge systems connecting the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen.
Hardangervidda Plateau
The vast, desolate beauty of Europe's largest high-altitude mountain plateau.
Bergen Hinterland
A glimpse of the city's lush outskirts and mountainous backdrop during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun moves behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for the European continent. During winter months, this side offers the best chance to spot the Aurora Borealis as you head north over Scandinavia.
