Stavanger Cityscape
A clear view of Stavanger's harbor, the old town (Gamle Stavanger), and the urban sprawl of Rogaland.
Rogaland Archipelago
The intricate network of islands and bridges north of Sola, including Hundvåg and Rennesøy.
Forties Oil Field
Passing over some of the most historic and productive energy fields in the UK sector of the North Sea.
Balmedie Sands
The extensive, pristine sand dunes stretching north of Aberdeen toward Peterhead.
The Granite City
An excellent view of Aberdeen’s silver-grey architecture and the busy commercial harbor during final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the northern light reflecting off the North Sea. The approach into ABZ often follows the coastline, providing a great perspective of the Scottish 'Silver City' by the Sea. In winter, the low sun can make this side quite bright, so bring sunglasses.

The unique, flat sandy beaches of Jæren stretching south from Stavanger, contrasting with the typical Norwegian fjords.
North Sea Energy Hubs
Bird's-eye view of various oil and gas platforms and drilling rigs that dot the North Sea landscape.
Shipping Lanes
A high-traffic maritime corridor where large tankers, supply vessels, and cargo ships are frequently visible.
Stonehaven Cliffs
Dramatic coastal cliffs south of Aberdeen, occasionally visible if the flight path arcs southward before landing.
Sit here if you want to avoid direct glare from the sun on afternoon flights. On takeoff, look down quickly to see the sprawling Jæren coastline. During the North Sea crossing, keep an eye out for gas flares from oil platforms, which are particularly striking during evening flights.
