Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Sandnessjøen Airport (Stokka) (Sandnessjoen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular panorama of the Helgeland coastline, the UNESCO-listed Vega archipelago, and the most iconic view of the Seven Sisters mountain range during the final approach.
The Seven Sisters
The legendary 'De Syv Søstre' mountain range towers over the landscape as you descend into Sandnessjøen.
Vega Archipelago
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring a vast network of shallow waters and thousands of tiny islands.
Hurtigruten Route
Spot the famous coastal steamers navigating the narrow shipping lanes of the inner coast.
Lake Mjøsa
Norway's largest lake is clearly visible shortly after takeoff, stretching toward Hamar and Lillehammer.
Dønnamannen
The profile of the 'Dønna Man' mountain becomes visible across the fjord just before landing.
For the best photography, sit ahead of the wing to capture the Seven Sisters without engine heat distortion. On evening flights in summer, the low sun illuminates the mountains with a golden glow, while in winter, this side offers the best chance to spot the Northern Lights over the ocean.
Okstindan Glacier
Home to the 'Roof of Northern Norway,' featuring some of the highest peaks in the region and ancient ice.
Børgefjell National Park
Vast, untouched wilderness and high plateaus stretching toward the Swedish border.
Trondheim
Depending on the flight path, you may catch a glimpse of the Nidaros Cathedral and the winding Nidelva river.
Jotunheimen Peaks
Distant views of Norway's highest mountains during the mid-flight cruise phase.
The right side is ideal for travelers who enjoy inland mountain scenery. It offers great views of the transitioning landscape from the rolling hills of eastern Norway to the rugged alpine terrain of the north. Afternoon flights are best on this side to avoid direct sunlight and glare.
