Which side of the plane to sit from Murmansk Airport (Murmansk) to Tromsø Airport, (Tromso)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the Russian tundra to the rugged Norwegian coastline and deep arctic fjords.
Barents Sea Coastline
The rugged northern edge of Europe where the continent meets the vast Arctic Ocean.
Altafjord
One of Norway's most famous fjords, known for its deep blue waters and historic coastal settlements.
Seiland National Park
Aerial views of alpine mountains and two of the northernmost glaciers on the European mainland.
Tromsø Island
A perfect bird's-eye view of the 'Paris of the North,' including the iconic Arctic Cathedral.
The right side is unbeatable for coastal scenery. During the winter months, this side offers the best chance to spot the Aurora Borealis if flying at night. In summer, the midnight sun illuminates the fjords with a golden glow throughout the flight.
Kola Peninsula Wilderness
Vast stretches of untouched Arctic tundra and taiga spanning the Russian North.
Lyngen Alps
Spectacular views of jagged, snow-capped peaks rising directly from the sea as you enter Norway.
Balsfjord
A long, scenic fjord providing a majestic backdrop during the southern approach to Tromsø.
Sit on the left for the best views of the inland mountains and the Lyngen Alps. This side is particularly scenic during winter when the mountains are covered in deep snow, and the low sun casts long, dramatic shadows.
