Which side of the plane to sit from Røst Airport (Røst) to Leknes Airport (Leknes)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the legendary 'Lofoten Wall' (Lofotveggen), where jagged granite peaks rise directly out of the Vestfjorden, along with views of the famous Moskstraumen maelstrom.

Moskstraumen Maelstrom
One of the world's most powerful tidal current systems located between the tip of the Lofoten Point and Værøy.
Reine and Hamnøy
Aerial views of the iconic fishing villages and their red rorbuer cabins nestled at the base of vertical peaks.
The Lofoten Wall
A continuous chain of mountains stretching over 100 kilometers, creating a dramatic barrier against the Vestfjorden.
Vestfjorden
The massive fjord separating the islands from the Norwegian mainland, often dotted with coastal steamers and fishing boats.
This is arguably one of the most scenic short-haul flights in the world. Request a window seat on the right to see the classic postcard views of Reinefjorden. Afternoon flights are best as the sun illuminates the southern rock faces, providing better contrast for photography of the jagged peaks.

Røst Archipelago
The flat, marshy landscape of Røstlandet disappearing behind you, home to some of Europe's largest bird colonies.
Værøy Northern Cliffs
Dramatic, steep ridges on the northern side of Værøy that look like a dragon's back emerging from the sea.
Hermannsdalstinden
The highest peak on the island of Moskenesøya, often capped with snow even into late spring.
The North Atlantic
Expansive views of the open Norwegian Sea where the horizon seems to curve into infinity.
The left side is ideal for spotting the more remote, rugged northern aspects of the islands. During the summer months, if you are on a late-night flight, the Midnight Sun will be positioned on this side of the aircraft, casting a golden glow over the mountain ridges of Vestvågøy.
