Northumberland Coast
Look out shortly after takeoff for the rugged coastline stretching north toward Alnwick and Bamburgh.
North Sea Oil Rigs
As you cross the central North Sea, keep an eye out for clusters of industrial offshore drilling platforms.
Utsira Island
A small, isolated island community visible as you begin your descent toward the Norwegian coast.
Rogaland Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the numerous small islands and deep blue waters north of Stavanger.
Stavanger Harbor
On the final approach, the left side often provides a clear view of the city center and the colorful harbor area.
Choose the left side (Port) for the best chance to see the Norwegian fjords. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the sun over the North Sea. During winter months, the low sun can create dramatic shadows over the archipelago, making for excellent photography. Watch for the 'Stavanger Wave'—the distinct geographical transition from the North Sea to the mountainous coast.

Tynemouth Priory
A spectacular view of the historic ruins and the mouth of the River Tyne immediately after takeoff.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of white turbines visible in the shallow waters off the English and Norwegian coasts.
Jæren Coastline
The long, flat, sandy beaches of Jæren offer a unique contrast to the typical rocky fjords of Norway.
Sola Beach
An incredibly close view of one of Norway's most famous beaches located right next to the airport runway.
The right side (Starboard) is excellent for observing the unique flat landscape of Jæren, which is geographically distinct from the rest of Norway. If the flight approaches from the south, you will get a perfect view of the sandy dunes. This side also experiences less direct sunlight on afternoon flights, which is better for viewing the English coastline without window glare.
