Trælanípa
The famous cliff where Lake Sørvágsvatn appears to hang hundreds of feet directly above the North Atlantic.
Mykines
Depending on takeoff direction, you may see the westernmost island famous for its massive puffin colonies.
North Sea Platforms
Spot isolated oil and gas rigs dotting the horizon during the mid-flight crossing of the North Sea.
Jæren Coastline
Long, white sandy beaches that contrast sharply with the rocky Faroese terrain as you reach Norway.
Stavanger City
Aerial views of the historic harbor, the 'Old Stavanger' district, and the city center during the final approach.
Request a window seat behind the wing to capture the iconic 'lake above the ocean' shot immediately after takeoff from FAE. On the approach to SVG, the right side provides the most direct view of the city and the unique, flat landscape of Jæren. Polarized sunglasses are highly recommended to reduce sea glare.

Streymoy Highlands
Dramatic green mountains and steep cliffs of the largest Faroese island visible shortly after departure.
North Sea Expanses
Vast stretches of the Atlantic transition into the North Sea, occasionally spotting large shipping vessels.
Kvitsøy
A cluster of small islands and a lighthouse marking the northern entrance to the Stavanger fjords.
Boknafjord
One of Norway's widest and deepest fjords, offering a glimpse into the vast inland waterway systems.
Sit here if you want to see the northern fjords of the Ryfylke region during the descent. Morning flights offer softer light over the Norwegian coast, while evening flights in winter provide a better chance of spotting the Aurora Borealis away from the aircraft's own reflection.
