HAA → TOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Hasvik Airport (Hasvik) to Tromsø Airport, (Tromso)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the mainland's dramatic mountain ranges, including the world-famous Lyngen Alps and deep inland fjords.
Lyngen Alps
Witness the sharp, jagged peaks and glaciers of the Lyngen peninsula, one of Norway's most iconic alpine landscapes.
Kvænangen Fjord
A deep blue fjord system framed by steep mountains, offering a classic Norwegian coastal perspective.
Hasvik Village
Directly after takeoff, see the colorful houses and harbor of this remote fishing community on Sørøya.
Mainland Peaks
View the continuous chain of snow-capped mountains that define the transition from Finnmark to Troms.
On this short hop, the left side is superior for mountain photography. In winter, mid-day flights provide a stunning 'blue hour' glow over the peaks. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Lyngen Alps transition.
Arnøya and Laukøya
Rugged, sparsely populated islands that rise dramatically from the North Atlantic waters.
Lopphavet Sea
The vast expanse of open ocean where the Norwegian Sea meets the Barents Sea, often showing deep turquoise colors.
Kvaløya Approach
During the descent into Tromsø, view the mountainous island of Kvaløya and the outer coastal archipelago.
Coastal Shipping
Look for the Hurtigruten or large fishing trawlers navigating the offshore shipping lanes.
The right side is excellent for spotting the Aurora Borealis during night flights in winter, as it faces the open northern horizon away from the mainland lights. On approach to Tromsø (TOS), this side often provides a great view of the city's surrounding islands.
