SVGAAL

Which side of the plane to sit from Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger) to Aalborg Airport (Aalborg)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the diverse Jæren coastline upon departure and a detailed look at the North Jutland landscape and the Limfjord waterway during the approach into Aalborg.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Jæren Coastline

The uniquely flat and fertile coastal plains of Rogaland, a rare sight in mountainous Norway.

🏘️

Egersund Area

Views of the rugged skerries and rocky inlets of Southern Norway as you head out to sea.

🚢

Skagerrak Shipping

Observe cargo ships and ferries navigating one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.

🏖️

North Jutland Beaches

The long, white sandy beaches of Løkken and Blokhus stretching along the Danish coast.

🌉

Limfjord and Aalborg

A clear view of the fjord cutting through Jutland and the urban layout of Aalborg city.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare, though early morning departures might see the sun rising over the Norwegian hills. On descent, watch for the distinct white sand dunes of the Danish coast which appear remarkably bright against the blue sea.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🌅

North Sea Horizon

Expansive, unobstructed views of the horizon, particularly spectacular during sunset flights.

📍

Lindesnes Distant View

On clear days, the southernmost tip of mainland Norway may be visible to the east.

🌿

Thy National Park

Aerial perspective of Denmark's wild west coast, featuring dunes, heathlands, and lakes.

🦅

Bulbjerg Cliff

A view of the only bird cliff in Jutland, a massive limestone formation jutting into the sea.

⚓

Hirtshals Harbor

The major ferry port connecting Denmark to Norway and the Faroe Islands.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to capture the North Sea sunset. Keep an eye out for the large offshore wind farms often visible in the distance. As you approach Aalborg from the west, the right side offers a great view of the transition from the North Sea into the mouth of the Limfjord.
