Boknafjord
One of Norway's widest and deepest fjords, visible immediately after departing Stavanger.
Haugesund
A clear view of the city of Haugesund and the narrow Karmsundet strait that separates it from Karmøy.
Hardangerfjord Entrance
Views looking inland toward the mouth of the spectacular Hardangerfjord system.
Folgefonna Glacier
On clear days, the distant white expanse of Norway's third-largest glacier can be seen to the northeast.
The Seven Mountains
The dramatic mountain massifs surrounding Bergen, including Ulriken, as you descend into the airport.
The right side is best for geography enthusiasts. Morning flights offer the best lighting to capture the depth and shadows of the fjords. The flight is very short (approx. 30 minutes), so keep your window shade up from the moment of takeoff to see the transition from the Stavanger basin to the high-coast terrain.

Bømlo Archipelago

An iconic and lonely lighthouse situated on a tiny rock, marking the entrance to the waters near Bergen.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to witness the sun descending over the North Sea. It is also excellent for observing the intricate patterns of the outer islands during the low-altitude approach into Flesland.
