Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg) to Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the rugged Bohuslän archipelago in Sweden and the dramatic entrance into the Norwegian fjord landscape as you approach Stavanger.
Bohuslän Granite Coast
The famous pink granite islands and narrow fjords of the Swedish west coast shortly after takeoff.
Marstrand
Identify the historic Carlsten Fortress standing atop the island of Marstrand.
Norwegian Highlands
Distances views of the snow-capped Telemark and Rogaland mountains as you cross into Norway.
Gandsfjorden
Dramatic views of the deep fjord and steep cliffs as the plane maneuvers for landing at Sola.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal enthusiasts. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes for the Bohuslän islands. On the approach to SVG, if the wind is from the north, you may get a distant glimpse of the Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) area to the northeast. Morning flights provide the best illumination for the Norwegian mountain range.
Southern Gothenburg Archipelago
Bird's eye view of the car-free islands like Vrångö and Styrsö immediately after departure.
Skagerrak Strait
Expansive views of the deep blue waters connecting the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
Jæren Plains
The unique flat, agricultural landscape of Norway's southwest coast visible during the final descent.
Risavika Port
Observation of the significant energy and shipping infrastructure south of Stavanger.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the direct northern sun. This side is better for spotting shipping traffic and the transition from the Swedish coast to the open sea. During winter, look for the contrast between the dark sea and the snowy fields of Jæren.
