Which side of the plane to sit from Sandnessjøen Airport (Stokka) (Sandnessjoen) to Bodø Airport (Bodo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the mainland's dramatic topography, including the Seven Sisters mountain range immediately after takeoff and the massive Svartisen glacier midway through the flight.
De Syv Søstre
The legendary Seven Sisters mountain range located just north of Sandnessjøen, offering a dramatic vertical backdrop.
Svartisen Glacier
Norway's second-largest glacier is clearly visible, with its blue ice tongues creeping down toward the fjords.
Saltfjellet Range
The rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Saltfjellet mountains forming the eastern horizon as you fly north.
Coastal Fjords
Deep, narrow fjords like the Sjona and Rana fjords cutting deep into the mountainous mainland.
Bodø Approach
Final views of the Børvasstindan mountains as the plane descends into the coastal city of Bodø.
The right side is unbeatable for mountain enthusiasts. Sit here during morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the glaciers and peaks. The view of Svartisen is the absolute highlight, usually appearing about 15-20 minutes after departure.
Dønnamannen
A massive mountain on the island of Dønna resembling a reclining man, located just west of the flight path.
Lovund and Træna
The iconic, steep peaks of Lovund and the distant jagged silhouettes of the Træna archipelago rising from the sea.
Helgeland Archipelago
A mesmerizing view of thousands of tiny islands and skerries scattered across the turquoise Norwegian Sea.
Arctic Horizon
Unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for experiencing the Midnight Sun in summer or the golden hour in winter.
Hurtigruten Track
The maritime corridor used by coastal ferries navigating the intricate channels between the outer islands.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness incredible Arctic sunsets or the Midnight Sun over the open ocean. Keep an eye out for the distinctive silhouette of Hestmona island as you cross the Arctic Circle.
