Frankfurt Skyline
Aerial view of 'Mainhattan' and its iconic skyscrapers during the initial climb.
Hamburg & Elbe River
One of Europe's largest ports and the winding Elbe river as you cross Northern Germany.
Limfjord
The shallow sound that cuts across the Jutland peninsula in Denmark.
Hardangerfjord
Stunning vistas of deep blue fjord waters framed by steep mountain walls during descent.
Folgefonna Glacier
One of Norway's largest ice caps, appearing as a bright white expanse to the east.
Bergen Skerries
A dense network of small islands and coastal settlements just before touching down at BGO.
The right side is essential for fjord viewing. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Folgefonna glacier, which appears approximately 15-20 minutes before landing. In winter, this side catches the early morning 'alpine glow' on the Norwegian peaks.

Taunus Mountains

Wadden Sea
The intricate tidal patterns of the UNESCO World Heritage coastline along Germany and Denmark.
West Jutland
Long stretches of sandy beaches and massive dunes along the Danish west coast.

Rogaland Archipelago
The first sightings of the rocky, fragmented Norwegian coastline upon arrival.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare, offering a clear view of the sunset over the North Sea. Keep a sharp eye out for the unique ecosystem of the Frisian Islands about 30 minutes into the flight.
