MAN → BGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer coastal views, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Norwegian fjords and the inland mountain ranges during the descent into Bergen.

The Peak District
Immediately after departure from Manchester, enjoy views of the rolling green hills of Northern England.
Hardangerfjord
One of Norway's most iconic and deep fjords, visible as the plane banks toward the runway.
Folgefonna Glacier
On clear days, the massive white expanse of the Folgefonna glacier is visible in the distance to the east.
Western Fjords Landscape
A breathtaking panorama of snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys during the arrival phase.
The right side is essential for fjord viewing. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. During the summer, morning flights offer the best lighting on the mountain faces, while winter flights often provide stunning views of snow-covered peaks under the low sun.

North Sea Horizon
Vast stretches of the North Sea with occasional sightings of offshore oil platforms and wind farms.
Sotra Archipelago
A rugged network of islands and rocky outcrops protecting the approach to Bergen from the Atlantic.
Bergen Port Entrance
Views of the maritime traffic and shipping lanes entering the industrial heart of the region.
Sit on the left for a clear view of the sunset if flying in the late afternoon during winter months. It is also the better side for spotting the remote island communities of the Norwegian coast during the final descent.
