Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of scenery, starting with the turquoise Dalmatian islands, moving through the heart of the Austrian Alps, and concluding with a breathtaking entry into the Norwegian fjords.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Aerial views of the limestone islands like Korčula and Hvar scattered across the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Central Austrian Alps
A spectacular crossing of the high alpine ridges, featuring snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys.
Jutland West Coast
The sandy beaches and coastal lagoons of western Denmark as the route heads north toward Scandinavia.
Hardangerfjord
One of Norway's most iconic fjords, visible as the plane begins its descent into the Bergen region.
Sotra and Øygarden
The final approach offers views of the rugged island chains and fishing villages that guard the entrance to Bergen.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct glare, providing better lighting for photography. The highlight is the 20 minutes before landing; ensure your window shade is up as you cross the Norwegian coastline to capture the dramatic transition from sea to fjord.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged karst landscape of the Balkan interior visible immediately after the climb out of Dubrovnik.
Bavarian Landscape
Views of southern Germany, often including the outskirts of Munich and the rolling green hills of the pre-Alps.
Elbe River Estuary
The massive shipping lanes and industrial port areas near Hamburg as you traverse Northern Germany.
Folgefonna Glacier
On clear days, the white expanse of this massive plateau glacier can be seen to the east during the descent.
Bergen City Center
If the aircraft approaches from the north, this side provides a view of the 'City of Seven Mountains' and the Bryggen wharf.
The right side is excellent for spotting the mountainous interior of Norway and the large glaciers. If the wind requires a landing from the north (Runway 17), the right side provides the iconic view of Bergen's historic harbor and city center just before touchdown.
