Jotunheimen & Rondane
Aerial views of Norway's highest mountain ranges and national parks shortly after takeoff.
Svartisen Glacier
Look for the distinctive blue ice of Norway's second-largest glacier when crossing the Arctic Circle.
Lyngen Alps
Dramatic, snow-capped peaks rising directly from the fjords in the Troms region.
Varangerfjord
The deep blue waters of the fjord leading into the Barents Sea during the final descent.
Aurora Borealis
On winter night flights, this side faces north/west, offering the best chance to see the Northern Lights.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the landscape illuminated by the low Arctic sun. In winter, choose a late evening flight for a chance to spot the Aurora. Avoid seats over the wing (typically rows 10-20) to ensure an unobstructed view of the glaciers.

Finnish Lapland
Vast stretches of taiga forest and thousands of small lakes across the border in Finland.
Finnmarksvidda
The massive, desolate mountain plateau that dominates the northernmost part of Norway.
Lake Inari
One of the largest lakes in Finland, visible just before the flight enters the Kirkenes approach path.
Russian Border
The flight path often mirrors the border; you can see the landscape transition into the Murmansk region.
Sit on this side for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the tundra. It provides a unique perspective of the sheer vastness of the Arctic wilderness. During the descent into KKN, you may see the industrial landscape of the border region.
