SOG → BGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Sogndal Airport (Sogndal) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer world-class scenery, the Right Side is slightly superior as it typically provides a direct aerial view of the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord and the dramatic coastal transition into Bergen.
