LPA → TRF
Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Sandefjord Airport, Torp (Sandefjord)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the European Atlantic coastline, the white cliffs along the English Channel, and a more dramatic perspective of the Norwegian coastline during the final descent.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean shortly after departing the Canary Islands.
Galician Coast
The rugged, green coastline of Northwestern Spain as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Brittany Peninsula
The jagged cliffs and numerous lighthouses of the French region of Brittany.
White Cliffs of Dover
Distant views of the iconic chalk cliffs on the southern coast of England during the Channel crossing.
Norwegian Skerries
A stunning array of small rocky islands and coastal villages during the approach to Sandefjord.
Sit on the left for sunset views if flying in the evening, as the sun will set over the Atlantic. During the descent into TRF, keep your camera ready for the intricate 'skjærgård' (archipelago) landscape. This side typically offers better views of the UK coast if the airway is shifted slightly westward.
Canary Archipelago
Views of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote shimmering in the distance during the initial climb out of LPA.
Aquitaine Basin
The vast pine forests of Les Landes and the famous vineyards of the Bordeaux region.
French Mainland
Dense urban patterns of Western France and the industrial corridors leading toward the Benelux.
Zeeland Delta
The massive dams and bridge systems of the Dutch Delta Works visible across the North Sea.
Oslofjord Entrance
The mouth of the Oslofjord, dotted with sailboats and ferries entering Norwegian waters.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides a more terrestrial view of the European continent. As you approach Norway, you will see the eastern side of the Oslofjord and the Swedish border in the distance. In winter, look for the early twilight colors over the European landmass.
