HAM → BGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Hamburg Airport (Hamburg) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Schleswig-Holstein coastline, the Danish peninsula of Jutland, and the breathtaking entry into the Norwegian fjord landscape as you approach Bergen.
Search flights from HAM to BGO
Schleswig-Holstein
The patchwork of green fields and the Kiel Canal connecting the North Sea to the Baltic.
Jutland Coastline
The long, sandy western beaches of Denmark and the unique coastal lagoons of the Wadden Sea.
Norwegian Highlands
As you cross the coast, the snow-capped peaks of the Hardangervidda plateau appear on the horizon.
Coastal Fjords
Intricate waterways and deep inlets of the Rogaland and Hordaland regions before landing.
Bergen Approaches
Views of the surrounding seven mountains and the suburban landscape nestled between the hills.
The right side is the clear winner for scenery. For the best lighting on the Norwegian mountains, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the fjords from the west. If the flight approaches Bergen from the north, you might even catch a glimpse of the city center and the Hanseatic wharf, Bryggen, just before touchdown.

North Sea Vistas
Expansive views of the deep blue North Sea and major shipping lanes connecting Northern Europe.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive clusters of wind turbines visible in the waters off the German and Danish coasts.
Sotra Archipelago
Rugged, rocky islands and coastal bridges visible during the final descent into Flesland.
Heligoland View
On clear days, the distant red sandstone cliffs of the Heligoland islands may be visible to the west.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. While mostly maritime, the approach into Bergen from the south provides excellent views of the outer islands and the North Sea horizon. Keep an eye out for oil platforms in the distance as you enter Norwegian airspace.
