LHR → BGO
Which side of the plane to sit from London Heathrow Airport (London) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer coastal views, the right side provides the most dramatic entry into the Norwegian fjord landscape, including glimpses of the Hardangerfjord and the mountains surrounding Bergen.

Central London Skyline
Aerial views of the City of London, Shard, and Canary Wharf depending on the departure flight path.
Humber Estuary
The wide industrial river mouth and the impressive silhouette of the Humber Bridge.
Hardangerfjord Entrance
The mouth of one of the world's longest and most beautiful fjords as you reach the Norwegian coast.
Folgefonna Glacier
On clear days, the massive white plateau of Norway's third-largest glacier is visible in the distance.
Bergen's Seven Mountains
The iconic peaks surrounding the city, including Ulriken and Fløyen, during the final approach.
The right side is superior for landscape photography as you approach Bergen. Try to book a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the fjords. In winter, fly midday to maximize the limited daylight over the dramatic Norwegian terrain.

Windsor Castle
Visible shortly after departure from Heathrow if taking off towards the west.
The Wash & Norfolk Coast
Distinctive rectangular bay and the sandy coastline of East Anglia before heading out to sea.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy arrays appearing as white dots against the blue water.
Sotra Archipelago
The rugged, rocky outer islands of the Vestland region as the plane descends into Bergen.
Sit here if you prefer a morning flight to avoid the harshest sun glare. Keep your eyes peeled for the North Sea's busy shipping lanes and the transition from the flat English coast to the jagged Norwegian skerries.
