Which side of the plane to sit from Banak Airport (Lakselv) to Tromsø Airport, (Tromso)?
Right Side of the Plane
The flight from Lakselv to Tromsø offers some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in Northern Norway. The right side is superior for its unobstructed views of the Altafjord and the world-renowned Lyngen Alps as you approach Tromsø.
Altafjord
Stunning views of the complex fjord system and the city of Alta nestled below the mountains.
Stjernøya and Seiland
Dramatic mountainous islands with some of Norway's northernmost glaciers visible in the distance.
Lyngen Alps
The flight's crown jewel with jagged peaks rising directly from the sea to nearly 1,800 meters.
Tromsø Cityscape
A perfect aerial view of the Tromsø island, the iconic bridge, and the Arctic Cathedral during the final approach.
The right side is essential for the best views of the Lyngen Alps. Choose an afternoon flight to see the sun hitting the western fjord walls directly. In summer, the midnight sun creates spectacular long shadows over the fjords. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Kvænangen range for the most dramatic mountain vistas.
Porsanger Interior
Rugged inland mountains and high plateaus seen immediately after takeoff from Lakselv.
Finnmarksvidda
The vast, rolling arctic tundra plateau stretching toward the south, especially visible in winter.
Reisa National Park
Deep canyons and lush valleys carving through the high mountain plains near the Troms border.
Inner Lyngen Range
The south-eastern faces of the Lyngen Alps appearing as the aircraft begins its descent.
Sit on the left for the morning sun illuminating the plateau. During winter, this side offers better views of the soft pink alpenglow over the snowy interior mountains. It is generally the 'quieter' side visually but offers great depth of field over the massive Finnmark plateau.
