MQN → BOO
Which side of the plane to sit from Mo i Rana Airport, Røssvoll (Mo i Rana) to Bodø Airport (Bodo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the massive Svartisen glacier and the rugged mountain landscapes of the Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Park.
Svartisen Glacier
Norway's second-largest glacier featuring deep blue ice and massive plateaus visible just after takeoff.
Saltfjellet Mountains
Dramatic alpine terrain and deep glacial valleys within the protected national park boundary.
Saltstraumen
The world's strongest maelstrom, visible as swirling water patterns near the entrance to the Saltenfjorden.
Ranfjorden
Scenic departure views over the industrial town of Mo i Rana and the lush forests surrounding the fjord.
The right side is essential for glacier enthusiasts. Mid-morning flights provide the best lighting for the ice fields. This flight is very short (about 25 minutes), so have your camera ready immediately after takeoff from Røssvoll.
Helgeland Coast
A vast archipelago of thousands of tiny islands and skerries stretching along the Norwegian Sea.
Kunna Headland
A distinctive, steep mountain ridge that marks a famous navigational point for sailors.
Bodø Approach
Sweeping views of the Bodø peninsula and the distant jagged silhouette of the Lofoten Wall.
Sit on the left for dramatic sunset views over the ocean on evening flights. On the final approach to Bodø, scan the horizon to the north to spot the sharp peaks of the Lofoten Islands across the Vestfjorden.
