Thames Estuary
The wide mouth of the Thames where the river meets the North Sea, featuring busy shipping lanes.
Offshore Wind Farms
Clear views of the massive London Array or Greater Gabbard turbine clusters in the North Sea.
South Norwegian Landfall
The first sight of Norway's rocky, indented coastline near Egersund as the plane begins its descent.
Stavanger Peninsula
A comprehensive view of the Rogaland region's varied terrain, from rocky outcrops to suburban clusters.
Tananger Port
Close-up views of the industrial oil and gas infrastructure that defines the region's economy.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Look out for the transition from the deep blue North Sea to the intricate, rocky archipelago of Southern Norway about 20 minutes before landing. This side also typically offers the best view of the Norwegian landscape if the flight follows the standard coastal arrival route.

East Anglian Countryside
The rolling green fields of Cambridgeshire and Norfolk before crossing the coastline.

Unique flat sandy coastline of Norway, a sharp contrast to the typical fjords, visible during final descent.
Boknafjorden Islands
The cluster of islands north of Stavanger visible during the final turn toward the airport.
Sit on the left for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the North Sea. During landing, if the aircraft approaches from the north, you will get a great view of the city center and the harbor.
