KKN → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Kirkenes Airport (Høybuktmoen) (Kirkenes) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of Norway's rugged Atlantic coastline, including the iconic Lyngen Alps, the Lofoten archipelago, and the intricate network of fjords and islands along the Helgeland coast.
Varangerfjorden
The initial climb provides a stunning view of this massive Arctic fjord near the Russian border.
Lyngen Alps
Extremely dramatic, glaciated peaks that rise sharply from the blue waters of the Arctic Ocean.
Lofoten & Vesterålen
A world-famous chain of jagged mountains and turquoise bays visible if the flight path is slightly coastal.
Svartisen Glacier
The brilliant white and blue ice of Norway's second-largest glacier, often visible from cruising altitude.
Helgeland Coast
A mesmerizing landscape of thousands of tiny islands and the famous 'Seven Sisters' mountain range.
Trondheimsfjord
A view of the historic city of Trondheim and the Nidaros Cathedral before heading inland toward Oslo.
Request a window seat on the right side (seat K or F) for the most iconic Norwegian scenery. In summer, the midnight sun keeps the landscape illuminated 24/7. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff and halfway through the flight for the most dramatic alpine views.
Finnmarksvidda Plateau
A vast, rolling Arctic tundra landscape that is home to indigenous Sámi reindeer herders.
Swedish Border Peaks
High-altitude inland mountains and remote lakes along the border between Norway and Sweden.
Taiga Forests
Dense stretches of boreal forest that dominate the landscape as the flight moves into Trøndelag.
Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella
The distant silhouette of Snøhetta, one of Norway's most famous and massive mountain peaks.
Lake Mjøsa
Norway's largest lake, featuring fertile agricultural lands and the town of Hamar during the descent.
The left side is preferable for night flights in winter as it offers better chances to spot the Aurora Borealis looking east/south-east away from coastal clouds. During the day, it provides a sense of the vastness of the Scandinavian interior.
