Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the German heartland and a breathtaking approach into the Norwegian fjord landscape, including potential glimpses of the famous Lysefjord entrance.
Frankfurt Skyline
Iconic views of the financial district skyscrapers during the initial climb.
Bremen & Weser
The historic city of Bremen and the winding Weser river visible from high altitude.
Wind Farm Arrays
Clusters of offshore wind turbines standing in the deep North Sea waters.
Danish Coastline
Distal views of the rugged dunes and beaches of West Jutland in clear weather.
Lysefjord Entry
Dramatic cliffs and deep glacial valleys as you enter Norwegian airspace.
The highlight is the Norwegian approach. If the plane circles for landing from the North, you may see the Preikestolen area. Evening flights offer spectacular 'Golden Hour' lighting over the North Sea wind farms and the Danish coast.
Taunus Mountains
Lush forested ridges north of Frankfurt seen shortly after departure.
East Frisian Islands
The sandy pearls of Norderney and Juist along the German shoreline.
Wadden Sea
Shimmering tidal flats and mudflats where the land meets the North Sea.
North Sea Traffic
View of the world's busiest shipping lanes with cargo vessels.
Jæren Beaches
The unique flat coastline of Norway appearing just before landing.
Ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Focus on the German coast; the East Frisian Islands appear about 30-40 minutes after takeoff. In winter, look for unique ice patterns in the shallow Wadden Sea.
