Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Sandefjord Airport, Torp (Sandefjord)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Norwegian coastline and the intricate islands of the Vestfold region during the final descent into Torp.
East Anglian Countryside
Bird's-eye view of the patchworked fields and rural landscapes of Suffolk and Norfolk shortly after takeoff.
The North Sea
Expansive views of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, with occasional sightings of cargo ships and oil platforms.
Vestfold Archipelago
A stunning array of rocky islands and inlets known as 'skjærgård' as the plane approaches the Norwegian mainland.
Telemark Peaks
On clear days, the distant, snow-dusted mountains of the Telemark region provide a majestic backdrop to the west.
Sandefjord Town
Aerial view of the historic whaling town and its harbor just moments before touching down.
Sit on the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while crossing the North Sea. This side is particularly spectacular during the summer months when the Norwegian 'Blue Hour' provides soft, cinematic lighting over the fjords.
Felixstowe Port
The UK's largest container port is often visible during the initial climb out of Stansted if departing to the east.
Offshore Wind Farms
View the massive arrays of turbines in the North Sea, such as the Greater Gabbard or Galloper wind farms.
Skagerrak Strait
The deep-blue waters where the North Sea meets the Baltic, frequently dotted with international ferries.
Hvaler Islands
The beautiful archipelago near the Swedish border, characterized by sun-bleached granite rocks and red summer cabins.
Eastern Oslofjord
Dense Norwegian forests and the coastline stretching toward the Swedish border visible during the final turn.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you or on the opposite side, illuminating the Norwegian coast beautifully. Look out for the massive wind turbine fields roughly 15-20 minutes after departure from London.
