Which side of the plane to sit from Vagar Airport (Vagar) to Billund Airport (Billund)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Faroese archipelago upon departure, including the main islands and the capital, followed by a scenic entry into the Jutland peninsula.
Lake Sørvágsvatn
Visible immediately after takeoff, this 'lake above the ocean' provides a stunning optical illusion of hanging over the Atlantic.
Tórshavn
The colorful, small capital city of the Faroe Islands is often visible as you head southeast over the island of Streymoy.
Eysturoy Peaks
Dramatic basalt mountains and deep fjords of the central islands create a jagged landscape against the sea.
Jutland Farmlands
The transition to Denmark features the characteristic patchwork of green and yellow agricultural fields.
Billund Approach
Clear views of central Danish architecture and small villages as the plane descends into the heart of Jutland.
Sit on the left (Port) to avoid the direct glare of the sun on this southeasterly route. This side is superior for capturing the iconic Faroese cliff formations during the first 15 minutes of flight. Morning flights offer soft, side-lit views of the islands, perfect for photography.
Mykines & Sandoy
Views of the westernmost bird cliffs and the flatter, greener southern islands like Sandoy and Skúvoy.
North Sea Shipping
Deep-sea shipping lanes and occasional offshore oil platforms can be spotted during the mid-flight cruise.
The Wadden Sea
On approach to Denmark, look for the intricate tidal flats and the islands of Fanø and Mandø to the south.
Esbjerg Port
The massive offshore wind farm components and industrial port infrastructure of Denmark's west coast.
LEGOLAND Billund
Just before touchdown, you can often spot the bright colors of the original Legoland park adjacent to the airport.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Wadden Sea national park during the descent. Be aware that on midday flights, the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare. Keep your window shade down during the North Sea crossing to keep the cabin cool before the scenic arrival in Billund.
