Which side of the plane to sit from Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes (Harstad/Narvik) to Bodø Airport (Bodo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of the Lofoten Wall silhouette across the Vestfjorden and a stunning close-up of Landegode island during the final approach.
Lofoten Wall
The legendary chain of granite peaks appearing as a continuous wall rising out of the sea to the west.
Vestfjorden
The massive open bay that separates the mainland from the islands, often filled with fishing vessels.
Landegode Island
A sharp, mountainous island located just north of Bodø that is a highlight of the final approach.
Barøya
A scenic island at the mouth of the Ofotfjord featuring a distinct lighthouse and rugged coastline.
The right side is superior for coastal scenery. In the afternoon, the sun sets over the Lofoten Wall, creating spectacular orange and pink hues. This is a very short flight (approx. 25-35 mins), so stay alert from the moment the seatbelt sign turns off. The view of Landegode island is best captured about 5 minutes before landing.
Frostisen Glacier
One of the most accessible glaciers in Northern Norway, visible as a prominent white ice cap on the high plateau.
Stetind
Norway's national mountain, a unique anvil-shaped granite peak that towers over the Tysfjord region.
Ofotfjorden
A deep and historic fjord surrounded by steep mountains that provides a dramatic backdrop immediately after takeoff.
Sjunkhatten National Park
Known as the 'Children's National Park,' this area features wild, jagged peaks and hidden fjord arms.
Sit on the left if you want to see the dramatic mainland mountain interior. During winter months, this side is often better for spotting the Aurora Borealis if flying at night, as it faces the darker mountain massifs. Keep an eye out for the Saltstraumen area south of the airport during the descent.
