HVG → HFT
Which side of the plane to sit from Valan Airport (Honningsvag) to Hammerfest Airport (Hammerfest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic Arctic coastline, the vast Barents Sea, and a stunning aerial approach over the glowing Melkøya industrial complex into the Hammerfest harbor.

The Barents Sea
The vast, deep blue expanse of the Arctic Ocean stretching toward the North Pole.
Sørøya Island
The dramatic, jagged mountains of one of Norway's largest and most rugged islands in the distance.
Melkøya LNG Plant
The massive industrial facility on its own island, often featuring a bright gas flare visible for miles.
Hammerfest Basin
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's northernmost towns tucked into a protective mountain bay.
The right side is unbeatable during sunset, as the sun dips toward the Arctic horizon over the sea. On the final approach into HFT, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the high-tech Melkøya plant and the colorful wooden houses of the town center. If flying at night, the industrial lights offer a spectacular sight.
Book Hotels in HammerfestMagerøya Plateau
A stark, treeless landscape typical of the high Arctic, visible immediately after takeoff from HVG.
Porsanger Peninsula
Intricate coastal formations and deep blue fjords slicing into the mainland mountains.
Finnmarksvidda Edge
Views toward the vast interior wilderness where reindeer herds often roam during summer migration.
Kvalsund Bridge
The elegant suspension bridge connecting the mainland to Kvaløya island seen during the final descent.
Sit here for soft morning light reflecting off the eastern fjords. During the winter polar night, this side is excellent for spotting the Aurora Borealis away from the coastal light pollution. Watch for the stark contrast of the dark mountains against the snow.
