Which side of the plane to sit from Røst Airport (Røst) to Bodø Airport (Bodo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers the most dramatic views of the Lofoten archipelago's southern tip and the iconic Lofoten Wall in the distance across the Vestfjorden.

Røst Skerries
Over 3,000 small islands and reefs surrounding the Røst plateau visible upon takeoff.
Lofotveggen
The distant but majestic silhouette of the main Lofoten mountain range to the north across the water.
Vestfjorden
A wide expanse of arctic water often dotted with fishing vessels and occasionally whales.
Landegode Island
A massive, steep mountain island that marks the dramatic final approach into Bodø.
Bodø Harbor
Clear views of the city center and the northern coastline of the peninsula during descent.
Choose the Left Side to capture the dramatic contrast between the flat Røst islands and the jagged Lofoten peaks. This side is particularly scenic during the late afternoon in summer when the sun illuminates the mountains to the north. Since the flight is very short (roughly 25 minutes), keep your camera ready for the entire duration as landmarks appear quickly.

Røstlandet Village
The main settlement and fishing port of Røst seen immediately after departing the runway.
Maritime Routes
The primary shipping lanes for the Hurtigruten and ferries crossing the fjord to Moskenes.
Børvasstindan
Sharp, alpine peaks on the Norwegian mainland that dominate the horizon south of Bodø.
Saltfjorden
The deep fjord system south of the city, leading toward the world-famous Saltstraumen maelstrom.
Bodø Peninsula
The rugged rocky coast of the mainland as the plane prepares for its final touchdown.
The Right Side is excellent for viewing the mainland's mountainous interior. If flying during the winter, this side offers the best chance to see the low arctic sun reflecting off the Norwegian Sea. It is also the superior side for viewing the airport's layout and the Norwegian Aviation Museum if the plane approaches from the south.
