SOJ → TOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Sørkjosen Airport (Sorkjosen) to Tromsø Airport, (Tromso)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of the Lyngen Alps, showcasing sharp glaciers and peaks that rise directly from the fjords.
Lyngen Alps
A world-class view of jagged alpine peaks and hanging glaciers reaching heights over 1,800m.
Ullsfjorden
A stunning turquoise fjord cutting through the mountainous landscape of the Lyngen peninsula.
Svensby
Small, picturesque coastal settlements nestled at the foot of the massive mountain range.
Tromsøya
The entire island city of Tromso becomes visible as the aircraft aligns for the runway.
Sit on the right for the Lyngen Alps. The flight is very short (20 mins), so stay alert immediately after takeoff. Morning flights provide spectacular light on the glaciers and sharp ridges.
Reisafjorden
Aerial view of the deep blue fjord and surrounding valley at the start of the journey.
Storfjord Peaks
Rugged mountains of the inner Troms region stretching toward the Swedish border.
Arctic Cathedral
Tromso's iconic landmark and the Tromso Bridge are often visible during the final descent.
The left side is best for viewing the mainland side of Tromso and the famous Arctic Cathedral on approach. During mid-day flights in summer, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun.
