Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic North Sea coastline, the rugged archipelagos of Sørlandet, and the famous southern peninsulas.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

North Sea Horizon

Expansive views of the North Sea meeting the Skagerrak, with crashing waves against the rocky shorelines.

🗼

Lista Peninsula

Spot the distinct, flat landscape of Lista and its historic lighthouse, a prominent landmark on the southern tip.

🏝️

Sørlandet Archipelago

A stunning sequence of thousands of small islands, rocky 'skjærgård', and hidden coastal cabins near Mandal.

⚓

Lindesnes Region

Aerial perspective of the area surrounding Norway's southernmost point, where the coastline turns sharply northeast.

The right side is highly recommended for coastal photography. For the best lighting, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the islands and sea. Keep your camera ready shortly after passing Egersund for the most dramatic coastal scenery.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌾

Jæren Landscapes

View the unique flat agricultural plains of Rogaland, a rare sight in mountainous Norway, immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Agder Highlands

Observation of the rolling hills and deep inland valleys that characterize the interior of Southern Norway.

🏙️

Kristiansand Overview

As the plane banks for landing, you get a clear view of the city's historic 'Kvadraturen' grid layout and the harbor.

Sit on the left if you prefer inland topography and a direct view of the city center during the final approach. This side is better during the morning to avoid direct sun glare from the south.
