Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the flat Danish landscapes to the rugged Norwegian fjords and snow-capped peaks of the interior.
Øresund Bridge
A stunning aerial view of the iconic bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden immediately after departure.
Swedish West Coast
The rocky archipelago and coastal towns of Bohuslän visible across the Kattegat.
Hardangervidda Plateau
Views of Europe's largest mountain plateau, often covered in snow well into the summer months.
Folgefonna Glacier
On clear days, the white expanse of Norway's third-largest glacier can be spotted in the distance.
Hardangerfjord
Breathtaking glimpses of one of Norway's most famous fjords as you descend toward Flesland.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers. During the winter, the snow-covered Norwegian interior is particularly striking. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains and fjords perfectly. Keep an eye out for the transition from the Kattegat to the rising Norwegian terrain approximately 45 minutes into the flight.
Kattegat Sea
Expansive views of the maritime corridor between Denmark and Sweden shortly after takeoff.
Jæren Coastline
The unique, flat sandy beaches of southwestern Norway, contrasting with the typical rocky terrain.
Stavanger Archipelago
A sprawling network of islands and coastal settlements visible as the plane tracks north.
North Sea Traffic
Frequent sightings of large shipping vessels and offshore support boats navigating the Norwegian Trench.
Sotra Islands
The rugged island chain protecting Bergen from the Atlantic, visible during the final descent phase.
Choose the left side if you enjoy maritime scenery and want to see the sun setting over the North Sea during evening flights. It offers better views of the offshore islands and the vastness of the ocean. For the best experience, try to sit behind the wing to avoid engine glare and heat haze.
