The Forth Bridges
An unparalleled aerial view of the three bridges spanning the Firth of Forth at Queensferry.
Edinburgh Skyline
The historic Old Town, Edinburgh Castle, and Arthur's Seat are often visible during the climb.
Oslofjord
The stunning approach over the fjord, featuring numerous islands, sailboats, and coastal cabins.
Oslo City Center
Clear views of the Oslo Opera House, the Barcode district, and the city harbor on final approach.
Southern Norway Coast
The picturesque coastline near Kristiansand and Sandefjord as the plane crosses the Skagerrak.
For the best experience, sit on the right side to capture the Forth Bridges within the first five minutes of flight. During the descent, the right side usually offers the classic view of the Oslofjord. In summer, the evening flights provide exceptional golden hour lighting over the Norwegian coast.

Fife Peninsula
View the rugged coastline of the Kingdom of Fife and the historic town of St Andrews.
North Sea Infrastructure
Spot offshore wind farms and distant oil rigs dotting the expanse of the North Sea.
Hardangervidda Edge
Catch glimpses of the vast mountain plateau as the aircraft enters Norwegian airspace.
Norwegian Wilderness
Dense evergreen forests and scattered lakes characteristic of the Viken region during descent.
Choose the left side if you want to see the northern coast of the Firth of Forth and the deeper inland forests of Norway. This side is often better for avoiding direct glare from the sun when flying during the middle of the day on this northeasterly heading.
