Which side of the plane to sit from Leknes Airport (Leknes) to Bodø Airport (Bodo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled panoramic view of the most dramatic section of the Lofoten Wall, including the jagged peaks of Moskenesøya and the iconic village of Reine as you head south across the fjord.
The Lofoten Wall
A continuous chain of granite peaks stretching out into the Norwegian Sea.
Reine & Hamnøy
Spot the famous red fishing huts and bridges connecting the tiny islands near the tip of the archipelago.
Skagsanden Beach
The striking contrast of turquoise water and white sand visible along the coastline.
Landegode Island
A massive, isolated mountain island rising from the sea just west of the Bodø flight path.
Midnight Sun Horizon
During summer months, this side faces the late evening sun over the open ocean.
The right side is essential for seeing the classic Lofoten scenery. Have your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of flight as the proximity to the peaks is breathtaking. For the best photography, choose a seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the cliffs dropping into the sea.
Vestvågøy Interior
Rugged mountain ridges and deep valleys of the island center directly after takeoff.
Stamsund Coastline
A bird's-eye view of the historic fishing village tucked under steep granite cliffs.
Inner Vestfjorden
The expansive, deep blue waters of the fjord connecting the archipelago to the mainland.
Bodø City Center
Excellent views of the harbor and the urban layout during the final approach.
Sit on the left for the best views of the mainland mountains and the city of Bodø during landing. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the eastern slopes of the Lofoten mountains.
